Georgia War, Google Maps

Wondering if there had been any censorship of satellite images etc. I decided to take a look at Georgia in Google maps. Was slightly surprised to find that all of the Town/Road names are missing. Either they were never there or they have been removed as a reaction to the conflict. Though curiously enough the satellite coverage still looks ok, and it still takes you to the correct place on the map if you search for a Georgian town name. Weird.

I would be interested to know if the map information has been removed or if it was just never there.

Then you get virtual earth with poor images but lots of the town names showing.
