You might not have known this, but people in other countries don't often get the same features in Google Maps as you may. There are only a handful of countries that support all of Maps's coverage details, including the US, UK, Canada, and several European nations. Google recently added/improved the traffic layer to six countries, but downgraded speed limit availability in seven others.

This list was last updated back in February. But here are the six countries that have had their Maps traffic layer upgraded:

This post may come as good news to some, and bad news to others. Overall, though, the traffic layer should be more useful for most, so the good outweighs the bad here.
