Chalice Yao posted this across the road, interesting use of prims to make an image appear on the map:

How long would prims have to be around for the map to update like that?

It used to take sometimes several weeks, but since LL recently retooled the map features, I understand it shouldn't take more than 2 -3 days.

That was done in a sandbox at Cordova, looks like someone knows how to time these things to appear rather quickly as the sandbox is supposed to clear every five hours.

Map images now update on a daily basis. I'm unsure of what time the process begins or how long it takes.
