To do this, you need an ArcGIS Online account. 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. The pin is executed in the corporate color palette, with green taking the most space, and red - the least.Īnother version is a more colorful one, with the green, yellow, gray, and blue geometric background, imitation of the street map, and a solid red location mark.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. Version number one of Google Maps Icon is a simple location mark symbol, set on a white or a light gray square background. The white “Go” lettering in all capitals is placed in the center of the blue stripe.įor different operating systems Google Maps has different iconic, though both of them are instantly recognizable and can not be messed up with any other brand. One of the features only the colorful emblem, placed on a white background, while the second icon is composed of a white square with rounded angles, and a smaller emblem, placed above the blue thick stripe with the upper side arched. There are also two new icon designs, created in the same year. The mark is executed in red, yellow, green and two shades of blue, the signature Google colors, and has a delicate white dot in the middle. It looks minimalist and simple yet evokes a sense of quality and expertise. Now a colorful location marker is placed on the left of the gray “Google Maps” inscription. The redesign of 2020 brought the emblem to the main logo. There was also a separate icon for Chrome designed - the rounded map with a capital white “G” on the left and a red location flag on the right. In the full logo with the icon, the location mark was enlarged and made brighter. The typeface was changed to a stronger and more modern sans-serif, and the “Maps” part was now written in a title case using a light gray color, which added professionalism and reliability to the whole visual identity.
