Downloading Google Maps municipal geometry


When searching for a city on google maps, google is that smart it displays a geometry line on the boundary off the municipal. See this link: http://g.co/maps/23dz5


Is there a place in the google maps api where I can download this geometry?



Answer



actually you are searching city boundries of world. and you can get it anywhere when you find free data...there is lots of option but which country are you interested in?


For free shape file you can use :



  1. Global Administrative Areas - you can download by countrty...



or if you want whole world :



  1. Whole World version 2.0 as Shapefile, or ESRI geodatabase (for ArcMap 10): ESRI file geodatabase, ESRI personal geodatabase.


The coordinate reference system is latitude/longitude and theWGS84 datum.


And dont forget:



These data are freely available for academic and other non-commercial use. Redistribution, or commercial use, is not allowed without prior permission.



i hope it helps you...
