Google Earth in FSX

[Guest Manday-AccProb]

I thought that I ve read someone saying that there is a program which dynamically loads satellite data from Google-Earth or the Google-Maps API into a overlay in FSX - but I can only find tools that project something FSX specifiv into google-earth - not the other way arround. Am I wrong and there is no such program?Thanks

Oh okay. Good to know. I just would have d/l this program and hoped that it works. But is this really an issue? As the Google-Maps API can be used almost everywere for non commercial purpose by private users (http://www.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html) I don't see any problem with using it in FSX. Do you?
