earth-reverse-engineering VS flyover-reverse-engineering

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

i've used retroplasma's exporter to get city sections into blender (fairly low resolution but probably good enough for a 3d print) and from there you could probably use a plugin to convert that to an STL.

I've seen a few people talk about this before, but the past hour of research has led me to believe it's actually possible: A driving simulator that uses satellite data let you take on real roads. Google Maps has been largely reverse engineered (Demo, Code) - the data just needs to be processed (barring some bugs, things under trees or bridges). I wouldn't try to keep the photorealism, there's simply not enough data, so some sort of cartoony simplifcation like Infinitown would be awesome. The idea sounds absolutely naive but I'm sure a strong team could do it.

Hello, first time posting here but I figured it wouldn't hurt. I have been trying to figure out how to get this project working. Essentially, the program pulls 3D data from Apple Maps. (https://github.com/retroplasma/flyover-reverse-engineering)

I am sure most of you are all aware of this repository but has anyone ever got this working? https://github.com/retroplasma/flyover-reverse-engineering
