Google Maps and (Google Earth) are updated with bulk updates usually once or twice every month but NOT every area is updated on each update.
It's hard to say exactly when a given area will be updated because Google does not provide advance notice and some areas may be updated more frequently than others (just because that data is more readily available). While most images are no more than 3 years old, you may occasionally see an older image.
Due to overwhelming demand when a given area will be updated Google has created a new e-mail notification service. Check out 'Follow Your World' in related links below.
The maps and images in Google Maps (and Google Earth) are updated on a continuous basis. There is usually a bulk update every 2 weeks but only a few areas are updated at a given time. On average the maps are 3 years old.

The difference is simple - Google maps is designed to help you find places and get directions. Google map maker is like a wiki for Google maps - it lets you edit Google maps to make the data on it more accurate. You can use Google map maker to update marker locations, trace building outlines, mark roads, etc.

If imagery for a given area in Google Maps is older than 2007 you must wait for an update in that area.If imagery is more recent than 2007 Google Maps doesn't provide a 'historical imagery' view as Google Earth does. In that case you have to download/install Google Earth to see old/historical imagery.

Google never lets on when it will update an area but you can subscribe to Google's "Follow Your World"notification service to get an e-mail when they do update Morocco or whatever location you pick.Sometimes newer imagery is available in 'Historical Imagery', which can be enabled from the View menu. In some cases the 'best' imagery isn't always the newest imagery.
On average the imagery in Google Maps and Google Earth is approximately one to three years old so this is not uncommon. However, the more populous areas and major cities tend to be updated more often.
