It's incredible how dense people can be when their world view is so narrow.
The point isn't there should be a word for it, the point is Africa is not a damn country. Such obvious facetiousness but thick skulls can only fixate on "wHuT amErIcAnS Are thE US"
South Africa has as much in common Sudan as the US has with Haiti
There are plenty of countries on the continent than can (and have been) mapped by Google Maps.
Saying that Africa is somehow inhospitable to Google Maps is exactly like acting like North America is inhospitable to Google Maps because Haiti has bad roads.
Hell I'd take driving on the roads in that Haiti picture over some in places like "Chiraq", probably less chance of a bad outcome in a Google Maps car.
