Is it possible to get all streets in a country from the map?

4.1k Views Asked by At

Seems like GoogleMap doesn't provide any API for gettings all streets from country (just from rectangular bounding box).

Maybe is possible to grab whole database with streets from the map, but I don't know how. Any map is appropriate.

Any advices?

No, not only is not possible in the Google Maps API - extracting data like that is explicitly forbidden by the Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service.

See: 10.1.3 Restrictions against Data Export or Copying. Especially (c) No Mass Downloads or Bulk Feeds of Content.

You could however try something like OpenStreetMap for example.

It allows you to export data for free although there are download limits in place.
