100% in Germany, The Netherlands, Luxembourg as well. Wonder why the CIA thinks there are so many hidden roads in Belgium :-) Or (more seriously) why the definition of road would be different for Belgium compare to the other countries.
I cannot tell for Bolivia, but the Belgian roads are similar to other Western European countries, so I would expect the CIA to use the same definition there. On the blog that was mentioned, you find a twitter address to contact the Mapbox people. Maybe they can help ? regards m On Fri, Nov 20, 2015 at 9:30 AM, joost schouppe <[email protected]> wrote: > I think in the CIA's imagination :) > > Huge differences like that, I'm afraid it says more about the differences of > the definition of what consists of a motor road.
