I know this is not a related solution but just want to remind people that Google maps has a 3D mode. I do wonder if they are planning to get rid of it because they are burying it deep. you have to turn on "Globe View" and "Satellite"
The replay mode (example: https://cubetrek.com/replay/6338) also uses Google Earth data.
However, I'm a bit hesitant to further work on this, as I don't know if Google will suddenly pull the plug or charge extraorbitant amounts for usage. I consider it more of a proof of concept at this stage.
