Slightly related, I was surprised to learn how much Google still relies on satellite data for mapping roads. I found a road (pretty isolated, but there were occupied houses on it) less than an hour from Mountain View that, according to Google Maps, didn't exist (it just ended in front of the woods according to Google - I went for a few miles before Google was able to locate me on a road again). I'm not surprised this is their approach; I am surprised that this many years later a street so close to their headquarters could still be invisible to them.
