Free Location Service - Street by Name

Does anyone know of any free accommodation services that will allow me to find streets according to Israeli cities? I can use any java, .NET or javascript api.

OSM Nominatim is probably the best choice if you want to find a street in the city.

The nominatim.openstreetmap.org servers have a somewhat restrictive usage policy ; MapQuest also provides the Nominatim service with no usage restrictions.

If you plan a very large volume of requests, you will be better off installing Nominatim on your own servers , but warned that this is not a trivial task, but the data set is approaching the size of a terabyte.

If you are looking for a list of streets, there are several options . The easiest way is to use mapomatic to create a CSV, but this guide only works if you need one or two cities.

This is harder if you need more than one city:

  • download osmosis (and possibly ossemann, which is a beta graphical interface for osmosis)
  • download your country's extraction netherlands.osm.pbf (~ 430MB)
  • create a parsing polygon file from osmois (see osm2polygon)
  • run osmosis with the test site and extract all the paths that have the name = * and highway = residential labels
    • name of the road, highway
    • tag filter reject-node, reject-relation

I do not know any services to list all the streets in a particular city. Perhaps you could use the Google Places auto-complete API and restrict the types of places to streets (see this ).
