Rossko's already written >> The API doesn't provide a means to scrape Google's databases. That might be more charitably put as "The API doesn't provide a means to get unrestricted data out of Google's databases." You can only do what the API allows, and that's restricted to discrete finite queries of the "What's at <coordinates>?" or "How do get to <place>?" variety. Look at the other resources you've been pointed towards. Geonames.org is one which might be useful (although DaGoo's caveat about "What is a city?" is relevant). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
