News articles, interesting map finds, and technical questions are all welcome here. If I can get this to work it’s exactly what I wanted.This subreddit is for anything and everything concerning Google Maps or any related services such as Google Earth, Google Street View, or Google My Maps. I get all 3 overlays, at least in small pieces. I can do some smaller exports successfully, so the method itself is solid. The resolution defaults to 96 dpi (which is what windows says for the ortho tif, so maybe that’s all it is) and I’ve tried a few options but it doesn’t seem to matter. My scale is 1:37 when zoomed to native resolution with output dimensions of 58,590px x 21,162 px, taken from my ortho layer. QGIS is crashing, so not much you can help me with there. Unfortunately I’m having issues with the export. I was able to load location data from a KMZ file and overlay that which was a huge bonus. I’m looking into using that and aligning the images, as that would be optimal, but it’s not really important if I can’t figure it out. I have a 200MB JPEG that is my whole area stitched together at the highest resolution, but it lacks any geographical information. For the areas outside my DD layer I simply wanted to give context and it doesn’t have to look nice zoomed in. Some of the other OpenLayers options such as OpenStreetMap (which worked great but wasn’t the content I wanted) and Bing Aerial (which was the right content but didn’t render zoomed in) makes me wonder why none of the google options worked, but the tiles method was sufficient. I wasn’t able to get any of the google services to load using OpenLayers, both with and without my API key, but it worked using the XYZ tiles option. As I’m new to QGIS, the screenshots were extra helpful. While I haven’t been able to get it to work perfectly yet, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for taking the time to research this for me. I can load them both into google earth and they look perfect, the goal is to eventually get a single high-resolution JPEG. If I could get it out in high-res that would be great since I also downloaded a KML file from google maps with a lot of location data and wanted to incorporate that into my GeoTIFF image. I don’t believe there is any way to export essentially the superlayer (my imported geotiff) plus google earth satellite map data around my aerial imagery, giving me a standard rectangle comprised my images in context with the surrounding google map - at the same high resolution.īasically once it goes into google earth, it can only come back out low-res. I actually had to crop down a bit to stay within the max JPEG width of 65,535 pixels). Google earth lets you export an image up to around 4K resolution (the ‘max resolution’ is actually a bit higher, but not the multi-gigapixel resolution I imported. What I was trying to get was an export back to GeoTIFF with the surrounding map. I’ve had no issues with lag and was able to import it into Google Earth as a superlayer just fine.

Thank you for the suggestion, but that isn’t quite what I’m looking for. This seems like somebody else would have wanted to do this so maybe I’m just using the wrong search terms. I used a website (google maps customizer) to auto-stitch together the best google map version of the entire area I want to cover, but don’t know any way to get my photographed portion to overlay on top of it since it’s just a jpeg without location data. I can open the tiff file in google earth and save an image that includes the dimensions I want, but it saves it at google earth resolution not gigapixel resolution. The issue is that I want the non-photographed google map portions that surround my area included in my final image file, rather than a white background, so I can have a complete rectangular map with my own images overlaid over a google map. The result turned out great and is a 2.2 gigapixel image. I’m trying to get a very high quality map so I’ve taken a lot of pictures.

I’m really impressed by DD and have made a few sample terrain maps. I have what I think is a fairly basic question but I’ve searched a lot here and on google and haven’t found it asked. TL DR Version - Want to overlay my very high-res shot over google maps and have both in a high res image.
