For cities such as NYC, a good resource is Tiger from the Census Bureau. Older cities with well known streets are nearly perfectly (as far as can be done) depicted in the Tiger shapefiles. You can download a single county "edges" shapefile and use that as your resource. The best thing about it is there aren't any restrictions on how and for what you use the data, unlike most geocoders and routing systems.
Search Google for "Tiger Census 2008 shapefiles" - this should get you the URL. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
