Nice in theory, but it would be basically impossible to implement.

Fair enough then I guess. Vix, how this would work is using an API to convert Google Map's data into terrain, building data etc. which the game understands.

Problem, google map textures are not good enough for a game. And it's better to level design you map by yourself than making an algorithm which would take years to code X). I guess you thought to arma maps like altis, chernarus that are made from true places, no?

To be honest.. I thought maps like Altis in Arma 3 were made from parts of different places on Google Maps.

@Isaacdevil in fact, developers use satellite image when you are far from the map but not google ones ;)

Ah satellite maps lol, that would be better.
