title: Does anyone know where I could get free GPS data on certain types of locations for any country
body: <p>I am currently building a web application server which essential would allow a client application to send it's current location and query on the server for the closet locations of a certain location type, examples of location types would be nearest payphone, nearest restaurant or nearest gas station. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know where I could get the GPS data for free? I would eventually like to have data for pretty much any country in the world.</p>
  
  <p>It would be preferred that the GPS location data to be in decimal format, I am flexible with the file format containing the data.</p>
