Building on that example, I was able to do the same for ArcMap and Pro, but in a round about way. In late 2019 I did find a way to add Google Maps to QGIS 3. For a government agency, replacing authoritative GIS data with crowd sourced data might not be a good idea.īack in early 2014, I took a look at adding Google Maps to ArcMap using some available programs/add-ins, but all were disappointing.

So you want to add Google Maps to ArcMap or Pro? Impossible you say? Well here is an early Christmas present just for you … yes you can!īefore you proceed, think about why you would want a crowd sourced Google Maps basemap in your GIS anyway? There are better solutions today, like the basemaps provided by ESRI or even your own creations.
