Dave thank you for your reply, I understand your facts but that doesn't mean that I and many others which have been using SU for many years are wrong to be deeply disappointed...
I understand that you are disappointed but it doesn't change the facts. Google removed access to their Maps API so versions of SketchUp that used Google Maps for Geo-Location no longer have anything to access.

Don't want to be rude but by the way how much will it cost to follow your suggestions for such a basic feature (probably you don't need it if doing "woodworking").
You'll need to check with the Placemaker folks. The extension doesn't come for free and neither does the high res imagery they offer. Digital Globe doesn't supply their data for free. I expect their employees insist on getting paid for their work and the required infrastructure doesn't come out of thin air.
You're right. I don't need that sort of stuff for most woodworking projects but I do a lot more with SketchUp than just woodworking projects. If I need high res location imagery I'll use Placemaker, though. Their imagery for most areas is better than Google's offering was anyhow.

Perhaps is time to learn Blender or why not Rhino.
I think it's a good idea to keep learning. Helps to keep senility at bay. What do Blender and Rhino use for geo-location data?
