How to Get Lattitude and Longitude of US Interstate Exits programmatically?
Is there a way to do that using open source map / API (Google Map API, Micros开发者_如何学运维oft Live Map API)?
Or is there a way to traverse roads and junction from map files? (if I purchase commericial map data)
Thanks.
Edit: Either open source or API
A possible solution based on openstreetmap depending on the quality of OSM data in the US.
As described here "Exit ramps/slip roads should be tagged as highway=motorway_link or highway=primary_link" if you import the map data for the US (using osm2pgsql) you can then select all motorway links.
E.g. (selects based on my own data, i.e. very much outside US)
openmapdb=# select osm_id, name, ref from planet_osm_roads where highway='motorway_link';
osm_id | name | ref
----------+------+-----
23683997 | |
26436348 | |

23683997 and 26436348 are the OSM ids - if you click on the links you'll see they are indeed entry/exit ramps.
Once you've identified a way, you can access the latitude and logitude:
openmapdb=# select astext(st_transform(way, 4326)) from planet_osm_roads where osm_id = '23683997';
LINESTRING(24.8757131412186 44.8730730514894,[..]
