Google maps

We have been lately exploring the forests around our neighborhood on foot or bicycles but so far have not managed to find a map which would show the routes in the forests. So we have decided to check the one and only oracle in today's world - google maps to get a better picture where can we go. Obviously the first thing was to look for the house where we live. We could not believe it but the house (marked by me on the picture below with red dot) is just not there. Nothing special if it wasn't for the fact that the house has been there already for over a year...not too mention that there should be a clear fence around the plot where we live. We got it installed in 2003...If not that there should be another house next to hours that has been built in 2005...Nothing is there...

I would say it is a shame for google. Pictures from the last century in today's world are sort of a joke and I think they are not even satellite pictures but provided by a funny Polish company called PPWK as can be seen at the bottom of the picture saying everything comes from 2009. (PPWK be a state own enterprise specialising in maps but still is one of the biggest cartographic companies on Polish market).



Or perhaps my house has been erased from the pictures for national security reasons - sounds more plausible :))) Thank you PPWK - continuing with the good tradition from communist times then whole towns were not on maps due to their national security significance :))))
