Google Maps uses the same satellite data as Google Earth, most of which is approximately one to three years old. The roads and place names, etc. are updated on a continuous basis.
Google does not provide detailed information about when a specific area will be updated in advance but you can receive e-mail notification when your area of interest was updated.
