i needed little help on how to go about it. i do not have much knowledge about Google Maps or Bing Maps API’s as I am the database guy.
We are building an emergency response system of a city. So for this we are using Neo4J as the database which till now has been very satisfactory.
But now to generate the city map- Is there a way that I can get the details of the city ie basically all streets, landmarks etc etc in any format. Once I have this data, then i can imbed them in the database and proceed.
Basically a way to get the complete details of the city.
Have a look at Open Street Map and their downloads page (instructions and explanations). It will give all their data in XML format, which should exactly be what you need.
