Some things are acting very strangely with Google Maps. Several months ago I used Google Maps and it included all of the roads that I am familiar with north of 466A. Now, however, when I look at that area with Google maps it seems to have reverted to an old database from several years ago with hardly any roads between 466 and 466A included. This has less information than was given a year ago. Does anyone have an explanation?
