      Hi,

      I'd like to add an area of a sattelite map, then I've followed those steps:

      • add a place
      • in the pop up window, I've zoomed on the right place
      • then I selected an area
      • and finaly imported it into my Sketchup document

      Unfortunately, this is only an Openstreetmap, not a sattelite view.

      How can I select an other kind of map?

      Thanks for your help

        Your profile indicates you are using SketchUp Make. For Make users, the map like you show is the only option since Google changed their terms of service to prohibit use of their imagery and terrain data a few years ago. Now you need SketchUp Pro to get aerial imagery instead of the map.

          Tanks for this disapointing answer.
          That doesn't help me, but that explains the "trouble"

            The source for the terrain and imagery is not free since Google took their toys and went home. Now that it is a premium service and hobbyists using SketchUp Make, such as yourself, aren't paying for it, they don't get access to that data.
