List Of Addresses Google Maps

I would like to know if there is a way that i can get a list of addresses of a country from google maps. I would like to populate an html list box with the list of addresses. Is there a way to achieve this? I would also like to use the long and lat coordinates as the value of the address and the address description as the display value.

A list box with an entire country's addresses? Not only would you probably be violating a bunch of privacy laws, browsers would choke on the huge, huge list.

I work at SmartyStreets where we maintain an official list of US addresses, which is GB in size. Google and other data providers don't give handouts, and any official sets of data, which only a handful of countries maintain, are very expensive.

To validate addresses on website form entry, you'd be interested in our jQuery plugin: http://smartystreets.com/kb/liveaddress-api/website-forms

Is that something like what you're looking for? And yes, the results do come back with lat-lon.

This can be used to validate addresses in a Map it would require some tweaking to work the way you would like it to:

You usually have to pay for those kinds of data bases. Google doesn't give you a data base dump for free and neither does anyone else.
