Got something odd for you all, and maybe you can help out. If you look at N. Korea on Google Maps, (I don't know about Google Earth) there are NO cities listed whatsoever.
You CAN zoom in and see cities but they aren't labeled.
Also to note, if you search for PyongYang, it will show up labeled, but not if you only type in something like N. Korea.
I haven't seen any other countries behave this way on Google Maps before. Any thoughts?

You are right, I just Google mapped it now. I have also posted a screen shot below.

Thanks a lot for that one!
I didn't even think about a screen shot. Any thoughts?

I for one would really like to know why.
North Korea is very secretive but I can't figure out why they would have any power over Google to block city names.
This is just plain weird..

I guess Google isn't welcomed in North Korea or they just couldn't find a driver brave enough to cruise the streets.

LOL, I can get on board with that theory for the lack of "Street view" I would like to know why they can't get city names...it's weird..

Has anyone seen those Google streetview cars? The are kind of obvious looking, with the roof mount camera and the giant Google logo on the side of the car.

I've never seen them in person, however I have seen them in reflections in the window from "Street View". They do stand out like a sore thumb.

I really wish this could stay visible to other members, I would love to get some informed answers to why this might be occurring.
Hell even good guesses would be awesome

Maybe Google isn't allowed on they're land? Who knows.
Not a one liner.
