>> HK is freaking empty in the eyes of Google Map except for the road fragments.

Plenty of good alternatives. Not really an issue.

What I've found an issue is being able to search, in English on the Asian versions of the Google maps. How about allowing me to type an address in English and getting an English overlay for Tokyo?

Would be an awesome service for some of these cities which attract a lot of tourists and business travelers.
