[GIS] use Google maps tiles in OSM for Iran

google mapsopenstreetmapweb-mapping

I use Google maps in my application but because this service has limitation (2500 request per day for Geocoding) I want to use OSM instead of Google maps.

But OSM doesn't cover Iran as well as Google maps. My question is: Can I use Google maps tiles in OSM for Iran?

You can compare Google maps tiles with OSM in Iran on the following pictures: First is OSM and second is Google maps.

No, you cant. Google maps and OSM are 2 different WMS providers. On the side note, the api limit for Google maps is 25000 map loads per day i think, not 2500. Thats for geocoding service. Oh, and even the 25000 limit per day is a calculated average over 90 days!
