AC magazine route map

Flew recently on Air Canada and noticed that the route map in the magazine showed no international border delineating Timor Leste (independent in 2002) or South Sudan (independent in 2011).

How often do they update the base map for the route map?

Wow. I am amazed you caught something like that. I assume that you had already seen all the movies?

Never. Maybe once a millennium if you're lucky.

The website route map at http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelin...re_we_fly.html does demarcate and label South Sudan, and labels East Timor but without a border. Kosovo is neither demarcated nor labeled.

Borders are not shown between Israel and Lebanon, Egypt and Gaza (which is not labeled, nor is the West Bank), and Qatar and KSA. Some disputed areas are noted (e.g. between India and China in the Kashmir area, or between Israel and Syria) but others are not (e.g. between India and Pakistan, or other disputed areas between India and China).
