How often they update wiki and google maps?

How often do you thing the satellite images of our earth which are provided by Google and Wiki Mapia are updated? If you say every 15 days, then you have to brush up a lot.

Recently i noticed this when i was browsing thru wikimapia, i was looking for kathipara flyover. First phase of construction got over some 2 months back and the current map shows a appox. 5 months old snap. Does this happen only for Indian Maps? or it is the same throughout the world?

    umm, those satellite images are mighty expensive which is why they are updated every 1-2 years or so. And wikipaia do not provide their own maps or imagery, it just uses whats provided by google.
