Updates and new data

Currently there is no data from Norc about when and/or where updates will be available. The latest[11] new panoramas were published in September 2009, showing cities mostly linked with ski resorts in Austrian lands of Tirol, Vorarlberg and Salzburg. In January 2011 the street view service for Russia was discontinued. Whether this is temporary or permanent, Norc Russia, operated by the name mappi.ru, does not specify.

gollark: That doesn't really work either.
gollark: Arguably a game is "more fun" if it's fair and stuff.
gollark: I'm saying - no, CBs are not intrinsically better, but they're given trade value - the ability to get stuff you like - so that affects balance.
gollark: I'll rephrase that. To have some sort of meaningful discussion about game balance, we need to define better somehow.
gollark: We have to define "better" somehow.
