The company said that they have pushed updated data on Maps and Earth which shows more accurate border details.
The changes have been made to over 60 countries and regions around the world. These are already live on Google Maps. Google Earth users would get access to the latest data in the coming days.
Google said:
In some areas we have improved our qualitative accuracy by changing the symbology of the boundary lines to reflect the updated status of a treaty or agreement based on political changes, new agreements or negotiations. This portion of the border between Ethiopia and Somalia changed from solid (yellow in Google Earth) – meaning “international” – to dashed (red in Google Earth) – meaning “disputed” – to reflect the ground-based reality that the two countries maintain an ongoing dispute in the Ogaden region.
