Google Maps and Georgia

Follow me on:

Astute observers of Google Maps noticed that the country of Georgia lacked any geographic data - it showed no roads, no topography, and no cities. Some thought that the lack of data had something to do with the war there but today Google explained that they just don't have detailed data so they don't show anything. However, they are working to develop at least basic data for countries like Georgia.

Why shouldn’t they censor information? They are a private company and the information they display may be used as a resource for the invading army.
