This is ridiculous, have you seen Google Maps recently? All of the
middle east is covered with road information except Israel:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=israel
<http://maps.google.com/maps?q=israel>
True, it's not as full as many other places (Brazil, New-Zealand, to
name some "obvious" leaders) but you can find details about the tiny
alleys of Cairo, for instance.

On the other hand, the ymap site is well detailed. If I zoom into my
moshav, I can see the football field, swimming pool and even dirt roads:

(In case anyone got it wrong - this is nothing to do with Meir's work,
it's more about frustration with the stupid government we have than
anything else).
