<< On many occasions, both users and developers have to act differently when using 'Google Maps' in different countries. For example, you can not display road maps in Argentina but in Spain, as well as with the georeferencing of postal addresses, which in Spain is possible with API 'Google Maps' but not in Argentina.

To report all these different situations depending on the country where we are or where we want to work, Google has just introduced this link [*] a table, sorted by country, determines the situation in which they find themselves funcionalides as information roads and streets, geocoding addresses postal routes between two points, information from local businesses or translation of interfaces. >>

The table doesn't include columns on Satellite or Street View availability... would be a nice addition...
