My roads are not visible from satellite and are behind locked gates. There is zero legitimate reason for anyone to know these roads exist.

- kube-system 5y agoI wonder how Google does know, then.
- saalweachter 5y agoProbably satellite. "Not visible from an aerial shot with leaves on" doesn't really mean anything. If the roads aren't buried underground or in a tropical rainforest, they are probably visible to a satellite at the right time or wavelength.
- 2xpress 5y agoDid the private roads require plan submission and building permits? The plans likely got stored in some government map database, which in turn got sucked in by Google.
- pelorat 5y agoNew roads can be submitted by users. Google has a map editor where anyone can make changes and have them officially approved. They could have been submitted by a random Google Map user that was scrolling around and noticed missing roads.
