Hi Shay- Regarding Israel coverage- The API coverage depends on data provider contracts, as always. In general, we're always trying to increase coverage, and I can't speculate more than that.
Regarding Hebrew characters on the tiles-- Currently RTL languages like Hebrew are disabled in the API, due to technical issues. They should be enabled at some point in the future, and when that happens, you'll also see translated tiles, assuming your browser setting is in Hebrew. - pamela On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 9:26 AM, shai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Pamela, > Thanks for the update :) > About Israel coverage - is it a temporary issue or a permanent one ? > Also will the coverage will stay in English only with the API or will > there be an option to switch to Hebrew mode also (regardless to the > coverage problem) ? > > Thanks again, > Shay > > On Sep 5, 12:15 am, "pamela (Google Employee)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> Hi developers- >> >> Some small imagery updates are now live.
