With a bit of imagination it would be easy enough to join it to this, from another source *:

Or even this:

* It came from Louis.de, I think. I used both for a lap of Germany that I rode. Excellent.
 
Ties in nicely with the route I took.

Routes to ride in Poland. My experience. In the above posts Wapping has posted photos from a book that served as a very good guide. Here are a few Google map links to roads that I enjoyed. Please note that not all the roads I have linked are billiard table smooth tarmac. There is some very scenic areas which makes the experience and lack of perfect tarmac worth while. After all you are on a GS right?

West of Gdansk to North Baltic coast: https://goo.gl/maps/nnS4xMyy7Yw (it might be worth your while to turn off to one of the coastal towns for a bit of R&R)

Oborniki to Brusy taking you past Klomino: https://goo.gl/maps/UqSckq7bwkT2 (from the south 1st exit to Klomino is a sandy road, 2nd one is hard gravel but where is the pleasure in taking the easy way in or out)

Gdansk to Bydgoszcz through the lakes: https://goo.gl/maps/NCgd8dAZ6tG2

Mragowo to Gizycko: https://goo.gl/maps/ye25t2zTVv82 (basically any road in this area is good and scenic)

Ketrzyn to Gdansk: https://goo.gl/maps/a5okkiZWKUN2 (just follow the 513)

The map has a mistake in it. Mokre (just North-East of Grudziadz) as it is labeled is in fact Torun. Torun and Bydgoszcz (Golden Biedronka in the town centre :D) have history of rivalry on the speedway track and it gets good coverage on Polish TV.
 
He’s right or very very nearly.

The town is indeed, Torun. A zoom in the map shows that Mokre (besides being a tiny village, miles away south in Poland) is what appears to be a suburb of Torun.

There might be something in the German blurb of the article that points as to why they decided to mark Mokre as opposed to Torun, but my foreign isn’t up to it.

PS I am just trading about the German invasion of Poland. They complained then that a lot of their maps had the wrong place names. Nothing changes, it seems.

Thanks for pointing out mate.
