This is the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Google Maps MOD that automatically maps the entire world of FS2020 with Google Maps satellite orthophotos. The MSFS 2020 Google Maps Replacement MOD is a free-to-use mod that dynamically downloads and replaces all Bing maps textures in Flight Simulator 2020 into more detailed and higher resolution Google maps textures.

Get the FS2020 Google Maps MOD here:

This video includes a full tutorial on how you setup this mod on your PC.

Shout out to the developer "derekhe" at flightsim.to for creating this awesome mod that makes FS2020 even more beautiful and immersive. Support the guy if you can, for his incredible efforts!

    IMPORTANT: If MSFS stops loading during startup (or hangs), then the solution is to stop the mod, start the MSFS first into the main menu, and THEN start up the mod before you go into a new flight. That solves 99% of the issues mentioned in comments.

    Fun fact: These map technologies (including Bing, Google Maps & Apple Maps) do not use satellite imagery for the high resolution top-down nor 3D content. It is all manually photographed by drones, airplanes, and helicopters (ground level LiDAR & imaging, as most people know, is done by car/van). Google looks the best because they have a massive head start on the rest of the industry.

    I feel like the bing maps has a more warm, cinematic feeling with all the colors and stuff whereas the google maps gives an really immersive and true experience. Love it!
  • @OmAn1994
    The huge difference is that google maps roads are HD and the tones differences in grass is visible. Would love to have the meshing from Google Earth for buildings.

    imagine a ideal world where microsoft works with google on this and msfs takes advantage of the google street view. oof that would be awesome
  • @needlesbeckett
    Absolute game changer for UK based simmers - it’s like night and day! Simply stunning. I’ve been a contented armchair pilot for over 30 years but I really couldn’t go back to Bing maps.
  • @KruddyKamiKaze
    I would highly recommend you guys donate to the man to keep him motivated to keep updating the mod with every game update! This is awesome!!
  • @HELLMUTIL
    This honestly feels like a remaster. It's awesome.
  • @NGC008
    Wow! Thank you for bringing this to our attention, a real uplift to MSFS. Also, welcome welcome back, you’ve been missed.

    Wow, it's like getting to play FS2030. It completely transforms my area (Ontario) to where I can follow the trails I regularly go jogging on, through the forests and fields, flying over in the Shock Ultra. Thank you! I'm exploring my local area again all new! The Grand River is night and day difference, I can spot the canoes and rafts going down from the air.

    This Airplane is somewhat cute. Looks like a scaled down A-10 Thunderbolt for Civilians. :)

    Wow, this mod looks amazing Sweviver! Thanks so much for sharing. Definitely something I will be trying the next time I play, as the ground textures are horrible on Bing if I want to fly around my small country town of Dalby, in Australia. Just compared maps online and the difference is night and day, so very keen for this. Hopefully MFS 2020 keeps letting us use the mod in the future. Thanks again and congrats on the new addition to the family. :) Looking forward to more info on the 12K soon too ; )

    I imagine future historians will fly the Earth in fs2020, to see what it was like back in 2020.
  • @VRFlightSimGuy
    This is fantastic, thanks for showing this. Really looking forward to testing this out in the 8KX with your settings :)
  • @BPond7
    WOW! This mod is absolutely amazing! It’s like a whole new simulator. I didn’t think such a gorgeous sim could look even better, but this is the real deal. Thanks for showcasing it for us! 😎✈️
  • @spitfire_0113
    Just tested it through a flight in south of France : Marseille and its famous calanques as well as the VAR region. It is awesome !! Thank you for sharing it. I don’ know how long time we will continue to use this app, but I just want to never go back to old map. Cheers
  • @motionbasti
    Welcome back my friend. Thanks for the mod introduction. I'll definitely try it. i'm also excited about your optimization tips. i've also been able to optimize a lot by myself, but i think i can learn something new from you. :) :)
  • @benreeves822
    Thank you so much for this video! I plan to install and try this out this evening. Also looking forward to your tweaks to get MSFS 2020 running even smoother!
