PSA: Downloading Google Maps satellite imagery tiles is forbidden by the TOS. This is enforced, too, and I'm quite surprised the OP managed to download tiles for all of Mongolia without getting banned.


I don't understand the reasoning behind that besides market exclusivity.


I don't think google owns lots of their tiles. If you view google maps on desktop you can see the copyright of an individual area, and it's often random aerospace companies.


Ah, makes sense! Thanks
