Can't we script a complete copy of Google maps data (shops, highways etc) to this? Is the API restricted? Can we run distributed jobs for it? I can spin up some compute if someone is interested in trying this
First, google's lawyers will not like that.
Second, in many places google maps data is not as good as Openstreetmap.
