Satellite Imagery Zoom (Commercial Work)

Technical Question

Hi all, I've spent a little time reading google's terms, and it looks like satellite imagery (maps, or Earth) can't be used for commercial projects, such as pointing out a real-estate project on the map. What have you done in the past, that is not google, and is okay for commercial use? For example, is there a government source you've found that is open for commercial use, and maybe you just downloaded a few images, and you zoomed from a wide image to a progressively closer-in image, with some fades? Appreciate your tips!

I think Google Earth Studio can be used commercially with attribution, but you have to request access.

Yeah I think google earth studio can be used. I’ve seen it a lot in videos, but do some research. You need to apply to get accepted which usually takes a few days.
