It shows the whole of the Google world. Tiles exist up to latitude 85deg (give or take a little). The reason for that cut-off is that Mercator projection puts the poles at infinity, so the maps need to be cut off somewhere; and using that latitude means that the zoom 0 tile -- there's just one tile for the world at that zoom -- is square. There isn't much useful data between the edges of the map and the poles.
