Yup, you can't compete with Google Maps for speed and the real world!

How would I convert a given Google Maps or Google Earth view to a Fantasy Grounds campaign?

I'd like to take the map of Cambridge University and set a campaign there.

Screen grab it. Use Windows Snipping Tool (or similar). Press the Windows key and start typing s-n-i-p and you should see a shortcut to the tool appear. Info on use here: https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...#1TC=windows-7

Save the snip as a JPG and put it in your campaign images directory. Info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Images

I am using Photoshop CC 2015 for everything graphical, from items, monsters, characters down to maps.
If you get a bit experience under your belt and set up some custom brushes you get a huge amount of freedom&control over your maps.

I use GIMP, it does everything. Pretty easy to learn, and free.
