Is there a way to make a raster image from the Google Maps Base map in QGIS? I need an RGB satellite image for my study area.
You can add the google base map to QGIS, and if you want to have the image locally in your computer use this tool 24.1.12.1. Convert map to raster.
Here's how you can add the google base map in qgis Adding Basemaps from Google or Bing in QGIS

I want to add google maps layer in my Arc Geographic Information System application version 3.32.
I tried too much from many resources,but i did not have luck!!
Is any way i can add google map in Base Map Gallery or on my map as Base Map.
You cannot add the Google Maps basemap to the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. You can use the ArcGIS "World Street Map" basemap which is comparable. Example here. More on ArcGIS Basemaps.
I would like to use a layer on top of a google map and map the streets on this layer.
Specifically - I have autocad design and would like to implement it somehow into a map, using tiles (maybe MBTiles) and provide info on the design.
I'm familiar with google maps but not on how I can add this layer and information. I don't want to create polygons and polylines in code - I want to use to vector design, place it on the map and add data like street names and such.
How would I approach this?
I'm thinking you'll need to use AutoCAD Map 3D or AutoCAD Civil 3D to extract the layer as a shape file which you can then use with Google Maps.
My end goal is view and print a document (eg, PDF) with business-specific info on it along with a map. The map must have
The aerial imagery background
The features from a KML file.
Google Static Maps works perfectly for this until the KML gets too complex to fit in the URL. I've already shrunk the URL by reducing long/lat precision and encoding the polylines.
Ideas:
I could get the aerial imagery from Google Static Maps, then programmatically draw my KML features onto it, but I'm not sure if that's allowed in the Google Maps Terms of Use.
Are there other ways to coerce static maps to give me what I want?
Does Google have a different mapping service that could ultimately convert a KML into an image with the aerial image background?
Any non-Google services that might help?
I want to use the Google Maps API to create a custom map with labels removed an colors changed (so far no problem), then export that map to SVG. If that's not possible, an export to PNG would be okay. The goal is to move the resulting map into a canvas element for further processing with fabric.js. Is this possible and if so how? Thx.
Why not just use the Google Maps Static Maps API?

It supports styled maps and PNG format.
I am required to build a digital indoor map for my school building. I need this to help provide indoor localization for the building. The map has to be in kml format.
I am not able to figure out a way to build the map digitally. All i can think of is draw/connect geo-codes that can shape the indoor plan in google earth.
If any body could share their opinions.. I would be grateful!!!
One option is to use a ground overlay within the maps api. Then you can create an image of your floor plan and then overlay it on your map. The corresponding KML element to use is GroundOverlay.
Have you checked out Google SketchUp? It allows you to model buildings, save as KML and display in Google Earth.
