Getting same error here in Taiwan…Taichung city
Can you tell me the exact street address or longitude and latitude? How close a view do you want to get?
See if this is enough of the area.

Thanks Colin for doing this but area is not enough as my model is around 7 km.
So need more…
You may run into other problems if you have a SketchUp model that is 7km long.
This version is 9 times the area of the earlier one:
Try this one.
Yeah that’s perfect, thanks for such timely and quick replies.

I have only been able to get that problem by setting my Internet speed to a very low value. It would be worth trying again on a different network.
Meanwhile, I imported that area for you.

Thanks so much colin, for the quick reply ![]()
Hi, I am using Sketchup 2018 and it could not be shown for this area.
Hi, I am having this problem today (2021-06-04). I try to geolocate but receive the “an error occurred while downloading the map tiles”. The map is actually grayed out for me so I can’t even see where i’m grabbing. I did realize my Pro version expired, is that related to this error? Even if not, how can I resolve?
Thanks!
Issue is happening again… Thoughts? Will this message kick the team into gear about fixing it?

Hi, I have got the same issue here in Hyderabad, India. I’m under the 1250 tiles as specified, but still unable to import the satellite view. No trouble importing the street map view though. @colin could you please help?

I tried both locations, as Bing and Digital Globe, and they are working ok for me.
Could one of you set the location for an empty file (in Model Info, Geolocation), and I can try adding more imagery. To make sure I’m using exactly the location you are trying.
