Google Maps Platform — Usage Notice

City3D-MultiGen uses imagery retrieved from the Google Maps Static API as its satellite and semantic-map conditions. Under the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service, this content cannot be cached, stored, redistributed, or used to create derivative works that are distributed to third parties.

Accordingly:

  • This repository does not contain any Google Maps imagery (*_sat.png, *_map.png) or the semantic masks derived from it (*_<Class>.png).
  • The provided scripts retrieve this content at run time, through live API calls made under your own Google Maps Platform account and API key.
  • You are solely responsible for complying with the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service, including any restrictions on caching, storage, redistribution, and derivative works, and for any usage costs incurred on your account.

If you intend to redistribute a fully assembled copy of the dataset (including the imagery), you must first obtain the necessary rights from Google and from the source-data providers. The authors of City3D-MultiGen do not grant any rights to Google Maps content.
