Figured out how to combine Google Earth tiles into a single glTF, load it into Blender or any game engine like PlayCanvas
There was a lot of hacks to get this working, this is the best place I've found that collects all the info about how to repro: https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter/issues/279

How to UV unwrap a large object (1 million verts) using Smart UV Project? Would love to have it all unwrapped on one object if possible...
I see, that's useful information. Perhaps import lower resolution versions of the google earth model and textures instead? The model is already in multiple LODs. I used this one a few years ago: https://github.com/retroplasma/earth-reverse-engineering though I now see there's https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter

Best way to Archive/Download Map data (Google Maps/Earth, Bing) for local map server (raw jpeg)
For 3D data I use RenderDoc to pull the model from google maps, then import it into blender with this plugin (tutorial). This method doesn't seem like it's easy to automate, but hopefully it'll be a good starting point for the 3D portion of your project.
