Why does Google maps not show the capital cities on their maps?

It is because Google maps are free. So if you want free stuff, you can't just expect them to show EVERYTHING. Maybe the maps have limited space, hence having not to show the capital cities. Also, the capital cities cannot be written on the maps as they might overwrite other names of places on the map or mislead people into thinking that name of the capital city is written over(say a road of building) is the capital city itself and the surrounding places are not the capital city.\n\nAnyway, you can go to Google, pay premium prices for better viewage of the world.

There has only been one US capital city. There were none before Washington D.C. Before that, Congress worked in buildings in various cities, none of which were the capital.

You know that KLIA is the airport and Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, right? It's like asking a map from Paris to Charles de Gaule. Which part of Kuala Lumpur are from traveling from? \nAnyhow, you could try this http://www.abcmalaysia.com/maps/rutklia_map.htm

I can see my house on Google, but my mom lives out in a rural area and hers is not visible.  Seems that the only close ups are in towns and cities.

Live images are not generally available to the public.  Governments operate numerous satellites that provide maps, but these would only be accessible by government employees (or really skilled hackers).  There are some private satellites that provide maps, but the costs are currently too expensive for the average consumer.  For now, you will have to stick to Google or Microsoft for the best available maps, and wait until advances allow for broader access.

These online mapping sites contract with private firms to supply data.  If you look at the bottom of the map, you will see the company that provides the data.\n\nThe answer to your question is that your address is not found on any of these maps because they all contract out to the exact same vendor for their street maps/data.  Navteq - http://www.navteq.com - seems to have the market cornered when it comes to providing the street maps (base maps).  The aerial data sources do vary a little from map to map.\n\nSo, if you have a gripe, send it along to Navteq.\n\nHere is an overview of Yahoo, Mapquest, and Google data sources.\n+ Yahoo Broadband Maps\n    - Street maps/data: Navteq & Teleatlas\n    - Aerial Images: i-cubed\n+ Yahoo Dialup Maps\n    - Street maps/data: Navteq\n    - Aerial Images: None\n+ Mapquest\n    - Street maps/data: Navteq\n    - Aerial Images: i-cubed\n+ Google Maps\n    - Street maps/data: Navteq\n    - Aerial Images: Digital Globe & TerraMetrics

Are you looking for a particular city---or do you want a list of cities that were incorporated since 1961? \n\nIf you want a list of cities, you probably need to look at the US Census information online, or contact each the state capital individually and ask them.
