> I don't get how Google even thinks this is a road, or what data it is using to discover it. Its nowhere on any map that I know of!

I suspect that someone holding an Android phone simply drives the path.

If you're Google, which will you trust more:

1) A bunch of sources of varying correctness which may/may not have been tampered with.

or

2) Actual GPS coordinates from your OS saying "Hey, somebody drove here."
