I am trying to scrape some data from a website with very little success. Basically there is a route overlaid on google maps and whenever you mouse over specific sections of the map (about 200 in all) it fetches 7 fields from a database and displays them on screen. Doing a single map manually would take about 30 minutes and be quite imprecise. There are about 10,000 map routes I want to scrape so this is not realistic to do it manually. Is there a relatively straightforward way of automating this process?
