More East European countries got some road listed for the first time.
I’ve found detailed satellite images over main cities of Romania, like Constanta or Cluj Napoca.
Funny thing: Ploiesti, another Romanian city got his detailed view wrong: the city is in the left of the detailed image :)

Bacau is right :))
If you look at your link Chen, You’ll see the arrow pointing to the city. The city itself is low resolution, but on the right side of the city there is some industrial structure in high resolution. So it could be true that they missed the city :)
