Is it that Google Maps doesn’t have images of the area, that they didn’t know where he lived (so they couldn’t look it up) or that they don’t know about Google maps over there? Because golf courses and yachts are big enough to be visible on satellite photos.

Under google images there are several satellite images of the area, some with arrows and labels (not in English). So yes, people knew about it. Most likely they didn’t know what to do about it.
It wasn’t that huge of a news because something like this was expected. A female journalist who was writing about this place almost got killed two months ago.
