Google Maps
Enable Google Maps as a base layer under Menu › Google Maps. Geo-calibrated SVG maps can sit on top of Google Maps; MapSVG positions them automatically.
Prerequisites
You need two Google API keys. Follow How to get Google API keys.
Uncalibrated SVG files cannot use Google Maps — the editor shows a warning in that case. For overlays, see Google Map with custom SVG.
