Hi,

I'm planning another of my random trips in Poland, I have been checking out some locations I would like to visit, but although Google maps shows the railway lines, it doesn't seem to show the stations, so I could end up thinking "I'll have a look round there" and then whizzing straight past because there isn't anywhere for the train to stop! Typically whenever I think I'll switch to satellite view and look for the stations that way, I find it's an area with very old, low definition pictures.

Does anyone know where I can find some accurate maps that include the railways and stations?

Thanks for that, the images do seem to be better than maps.google or maps.live, but there still seems to be some big areas that are very low res.

Is there such a thing as a polish railway network map with the stations shown? I don't mind if the page is in polish, I can work round that, I just don't know the phrase to search for it myself.

Yup, the Google and Microsoft sat images for big patches of Poland as very low res. Zumi was better, but still annoyingly patchy in places.

There are many maps of Poland here: Atlas of Poland (Wiki Commons).
