Why can't you see yourself on Google Maps?

It varies on the location of the individual, technically there are so many people in the world that it's hard to find yourself, especially on google maps and google earth.

Additionally

In particular the satellite imagery isn't of high enough resolution to make out individuals, but Google's Street View imagery is. That's the reason faces are automatically detected and blurred by Google but finding yourself in such an image is like finding a needle in a very big haystack. If, however, you notice a Google Street View car going by (with a Google logo on the side and a large camera on the roof) and make note of the location then you could search that location over the next year to see if the street view imagery at that location happened to be updated. Just because a Google car passed you doesn't guarantee it was filming at that moment, but chances are good.
