I hope their maps are more accurate when it comes to North America and
Europe, since at first glance I found a couple of errors in their attempts
at showing South America maps.

OT:
If someone wants to see non-interactive but accurate maps, use Perry
Castaneda's archives at Texas Univ,
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/
And for people curious on a few urban zones in South America, MapCity is a
good starter. Incredible, more accurate than my printed phone directory's
included maps,
