Satellite imagery disappeared

Open emcantcode opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Not a bug exactly but the lack of satellite imagery as a base map is extremely annoying. Can't find mention on it on any online forums. What is the reason for removing satellite imagery from Kepler? Will it be reinstated?

I've got the workaround! You can use Visual Studio Code (offline) which still has the satellite imagery and a better version of the Voyager maps currently on online Kepler. Somebody helped me set it up so I can't remember the exact steps but it only took about five minutes. I post the steps here later.
