What is this addon?

The Tile importer addon lets the user import Google Maps 3d Tiles into Blender directly using the Google Maps api.

Why need this addon?

This addon takes inspiration from Blosm addon by Prochitecture. Blosm addon allows users to import Google map 3d tiles, but blosm has some serious limitations when it comes to importing areas larger than 1km x 1km. Blosm addon takes too long to import when the tile count exceeds a thousand. It does not have any sort of backup in case of blender crashes.

This addon has fthe ollowing features:

Download the tiles asynchronously
Caches the downloads in case of Blender crashes
Allows the user to skip duplicate tiles that are already imported
Allows for importing of areas larger than 10km x 10km (system limitation may apply )

How to set up:

After downloading the addon from the website.Open blender
Go to preferences > Addons > Install from disk
Now search "tile importer" in the search box
Expand the addon preferences
Put the folder path where the tiles will be cached
Also, enter your Google API key
