Hi, Tsering.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You should look at the excellent <a href="http://Geofabrik.de" class="">
Geofabrik.de</a> data server from Germany:

</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://download.geofabrik.de" class="">https://download.geofabrik.de</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">They do a midnight download each night of all the OSM data, and covert it by continent and country to shapefiles and serve it for free each night.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">While it may not have as much detail as you may wish, it is an excellent start, anywhere on the globe, and you can go from there with adding your own data.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks to the Geofabrik team for this excellent public service!</div>

Have any institutions purchased a subscription to scrape data from Google Maps using their API? One of our faculty members is interested in extracting place of interest (POI) data such as banks, mosques, airports, casinos, etc. of Middle Eastern countries.
A faculty member and her group tried to extract the Google Map data, but they reached the limit, and they are no longer allowed to scrape data. I am looking for any suggestions or advice on purchasing a subscription for academic use, or on companies who sell
these types of data. </div>

Initially we thought we could download the data from Open Street Map but when we compared data downloaded from Open Street Map (OSM) to data downloaded from Google map, we found that Google has many more data points than OSM. Since OSM is a crowd source platform,
we understand their limitations.</div>
