We hope you're just as excited as we are about Google Maps Scraper📍 Because it just got even better! Which one of these features are you going to try first?

Choose your category off the list 🧭

You can now fly through your searches by choosing from over 2,500 official Google Maps place categories. From car dealerships and dollar stores to book shops and air taxis − you can now find them all in one long drop down list. Main advantages include:

  • more convenient search
  • one-word categories or two-word subcategories
  • adding as many categories as you want at once
  • combining search words with category or only using category

Go ahead and give it a try in the 🔍 Search filters & categories section: Categries for Google Maps.gif

Visualize your data 🗺️

We've added a visual map so you can preview and show off your scraped results. You can now find a** visualization of your data** as you're extracting it − just head over to the Live View tab. After the run has finished, you'll find the map safe and sound in Key-Value Store as a results-map.html for further use. Visualising data Google Maps.gif
