For Modern/real-world Settings, Auto-Generate a Map with Areas and POIs from Google Maps

So, I have a modern setting/custom world I created based around CIA black ops etc in Langley, Virginia. I have a rectangle of the city mapped out with a few key areas. I was thinking of fleshing it out some more with some additional areas and points of interest and opened up Google Maps, when I thought, isn't there a way to do this automatically?So I'm posting my idea here.

I wondered is it possible for F&F to query the Google Maps / Google Earth via an API endpoint to pull in info to auto-create towns, cities, etc all from public data?

Anyway, I would love love love to be able to click button or something that says "Create Map from Google Maps" and you type in a location and it instantly creates a rough map with some key points of interest complete with descriptions pulled from Google Maps that Franz can use.

Imagine the possibilities!
