Clicking the 'Satellite/Map' button will switch between satellite photographs of the globe and traditional maps clicking the drop-down menu below it will allow you to activate and deactivate map overlays. This means that, even if I align HD map with satellite imagery from Google Earth (manually with hand), this alignment wouldn’t work for satellite imagery from Google Maps. Use the button and menu on the top right of the Map screen to set your Google Maps view. You can also notice that the satellite imagery used between the two are different. You can see that the point ‘A’ is exactly at the center of the intersection in Google Earth, whereas the point ‘A’ is not at the center of the intersection in Google Earth. The satellite imagery source for Google Earth and Google Maps are different, meaning that the satellite imagery from these two places themselves, have a misalignment of ~5 meters or greater.įigure 5: Point ‘A’ marked on satellite imagery from Google Earthįigure 6: Same point ‘A’ marked on satellite imagery from Google Maps My eventual goal is to align HD map with satellite imagery from Google Maps. However this was not possible, as aligning in certain part of the map, caused misalignments in other parts of the map. I tried to align by hand, the HD map with satellite mode of Google Earth, through scaling and translation. Pan - displays a pan control for panning the map. However, when I switched to satellite mode of Google Earth, the alignment was lost.įigure 4: HD map overlay on satellite mode of Google Earth (Red arrows indicate some areas of misalignment) When showing a standard Google map, it comes with the default control set: Zoom - displays a slider or '+/-' buttons to control the zoom level of the map.
