Google Maps updates at different frequencies depending on the type of data and the location:

• Satellite images are updated every 1 to 3 years in urban areas and every 3 to 5 years in rural areas.
• Street View images are updated approximately every 2 years in busy urban areas and every 3 or more years in rural or less populated areas.
• Traffic data updates very frequently, typically every 5 to 10 minutes in high-traffic areas.
• Business listings and points of interest are updated regularly from daily to monthly.
• Real-time shared location data updates continuously.

Google prioritizes updates for areas with higher population density and rapid development, while rural or less populated areas receive updates less frequently. Natural events or significant infrastructure changes can also trigger faster updates.
