I am not only disappointed, but really frustrated by the status of Google Maps (Mihnea has an excellent list of facts -- link in title)
Here are some facts to help you digest the ugly truth:
- Romania has the 9th largest territory and the 7th largest population among the European Union member states
- Bucharest is the 6th largest city in the EU by population within city limits
- Bulgaria, who joined the EU at the same time, has Google street maps
- Apple has been selling Google Maps-enabled iPhones in the country for over a year now
- even an Android device will soon hit the local market

http://www.openstreetmap.org/ - The maps are 80-90% complete. Enjoy.
That's a great resource so thanks for the link.
As far as I can tell, both Yahoo and MS have better maps covering Romania, so it is not a matter of not being on the "map", but rather frustration on the Google's ignorance.
