Is it possible to use google maps to create a mesh for the terrain?

Just tried the BIM Tech add-on.. Apart from the connection errors I've been getting, I think 180x180m is way too small to be useful, both in city context and rural. I've used Terrain.party for a long time however it stopped working a while ago. I've been playing with a Blender Add-on, however haven't quite managed to make the data useful in any way (in AC or 3ds Max).. So if someone has a pipeline for gathering topography / map data, it would be so very much appreciated ๏‘Œ๏™

I saw in a recent webinar, where they added
site terrain into a Twinmotion model via Sketchup's
geo-location and "Oob terrain plugin".
I haven't tried it, but assume you can drop it into ArchiCAD as well.
Looked interesting.
