    I saw this news
    https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-maps-unity-supported-augmented-reality-games/

    I have been looking for some native integration of Google Maps into any game engine and this seems the way to go.
    But there is only a funny video and nothing else. No link, no further infos, nothing on Unity news as far as I can see. How do I get started to use that in Unity?

    I want to do a hike&fly competition game and the map material from google would be the jump starter par excellence.
    Like this here for X-Pyr right now: Livetracking of the paraglider pilots

    You can always contact their sales department and ask for access. I chatted with a few of the Google Maps Unity team at GDC. It sounded like you can only get access if you're a medium/large game studio with the rights to major IP for the moment.
