Can Google Map (or satellite) images be used on Wikipedia? The short answer, No Jeepday (talk) 15:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • You can personally use an image from the application (for example on your website, on a blog or in a word document) as long as you preserve the copyrights and attributions including the Google logo attribution. However, you cannot sell these to others, provide them as part of a service, or use them in a commercial product such as a book or TV show without first getting a rights clearance from Google.Can I post images to the web?

Example
