Description

This map was last updated May 2013. This worldwide street map presents highway-level data for the world. Street-level data includes the United States; much of Canada; Japan; most countries in Europe; Australia and New Zealand; India; most of the Middle East; parts of South America including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Venezuela; Ghana; and parts of southern Africa including Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Swaziland.

This comprehensive street map includes highways, major roads, minor roads, one-way arrow indicators, railways, water features, administrative boundaries, cities, parks, and landmarks, overlaid on shaded relief for added context. The map also includes building footprints for selected areas in the United States and Europe. Coverage is provided down to ~1:4k with ~1:1k and ~1:2k data available in select urban areas. Here is a ready to use web map that contains this map service.
