Maps may be drawn to scale or not to show more or less detail as needed. Satellite images on the other hand are actual photographs of what the ground and landscape are at a particular time. Both have many uses and tools like Google Maps allow you to switch from a map/street view to a satellite view with a click of the mouse.

How current are satellite maps?
Satellite maps are as current as when they taken and depends on the satellite provider and/or source for the imagery.

Likewise, Bing Maps updates its imagery once a month with typically more than 10TB of imagery, but its aerial and Bird's-Eye images for a particular location can sometimes be several years out-of-date.
