Is it possible to use JavaScript or any other language to extract all
the text from any area of Google Maps?  I'm mostly interested in
extracting all the street names from a city section, but business names
are okay too.

I know this is a far-fetched idea, but I can't think of any other method
for obtaining all (or most) of the street names of a city.  If anybody
has any better ideas I'd love to hear them.

Thank you.
