Is there a correct way to get the json data of a map from Google Map Engine Lite? I know that for maps that are not "lite" I can use the API access but I can't figure out how to access the data in a lite map. I am thinking of scraping the data but wanted to know if there is a better way.

Unfortunately, as of right now there is no possible way to extract data from Maps Engine Lite in JSON form. However there is a free tier on the "platform" (non-Lite) Maps Engine product that will allow API access. There's more info on the landing page.

  • Hi Mark. Unfortunately it is not a map I can control. It is map that a client company uploaded and I can't change it to non-Lite. So I guess scraping is my option . Thanks! – Ricardo Contreras Nov 11 '13 at 15:44

There is no possible way just because "lite" version for users who are not developers or programmers, but you can download KML file.
