Check this answer.
There is information about enterprise Maps API. You can pay for it.
And also you can check some other services like Google maps with offline access.

Difference in list of places shown by google map api and google+ app on android

We would like to list "places" near user's current location.
We observed that list shown by Google+ app is richer and updated compared to list we get through web service of Google API (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json).
Is there any way to find which webservice would provide results same as Google+?
(To find list of places in google+, 1. Open the Google+ app on android. 2. Click on Location 3. See the list).
Any help in this direction is appreciated.
