+**How often are the maps updated?**\\
 The application only display maps available from various online sources. Map updates only depends on the map editor of the map you've selected. In general, the application will display the last available version. For example, if you display the Google Satellite images, you'll see the most recent images available on the Google Maps website, however, those image can still be relatively old depending on the area displayed.

+**Is it possible to display real-time aerial imagery?**\\
 No, the application allows you to display the latest version of major online maps, including Google, Bing, Esri imageries, but you cannot choose a different date, nor display more recent images than the respective website versions. The stored data is regularly updated by the application when newer versions are available online.
