Western longitude values are entered as negative numbers.Ģ) Load the software Google Satellite Maps Downloader. Don’t have more than 0.01 deg in latitudinal and longitudinal direction (approximately 1 km) to avoid geographical distortion. Downloaded images are only for orientation and non-commercial use.ġ) Define the coordinates in lat / long decimal degrees (for example: Left Longitude: 0.04 > Right Longitude: 0.05 > Top Latitude: 5.76 > Bottom Latitude: 5.75 ). Legal conditions have to be checked on a case-by-case base they can change on short notice. It does not authorize the use of these images. Legal Note: Documentation below explains the technical process.

Only for technical gurus, not for production purposes, the earlier description of the download process is kept in this Chapter.

The error due to different projection can only be neglected on extremely large scales. Google Earth does not display images in linear UTM projection. Often, major towns show a good resolution (often less than a meter), but not so outside urban areas.Ĥ. Google image resolution are not always good enough for spatial planning. If the images satisfy quality expectations on 3 or 5 or 10 m: Who knows?ģ. Google does not give any guarantee on accuracy. (As far as I know, only possible against payment).Ģ. Images can only be downloaded and used, when a user agreement has been settled. Google images are the intellectual property of Google or the image provider.

It is therefore NOT recommended to use Google images for professional work. While it appears, that Google Earth has raster images, which can be used in LUPMIS and therefore no need to procure data, this is not feasible for a variety of reasons as explained below.
