Google imagery safeguards

Sign in to view this app’s shared usage counters.

Temporarily allow extra Google imagery?

Extra usage may incur Google charges. This grants one additional daily allowance for up to one hour, shared by everyone using this app. It does not change your Google account’s quotas or billing limits.

Signed-in Teacher Studio accounts can activate or end this shared override. Students joining with a room code cannot.

Extra allowance beyond the normal cutoffs: up to 2,500 Street View tiles, 30 Flyover starts, 10,000 3D downloads, 300 location lookups and 10 session requests. Usage keeps counting. Unused extra allowance expires; the override may also end at the monthly reset.

Usage limits and billing information

Automatic cutoffs: 20,000 Street View image tiles and 250 3D Flyover starts per month, plus daily and download limits. Warnings begin at 80%. Google imagery pauses if a limit is reached or the counter is unavailable.

These are app request attempts, not Google’s billing meter or a guaranteed dollar cap. Failed requests count. Usage before these safeguards were installed and usage from other apps are not included. New Google views may stop loading; lesson text and questions remain available.

Daily limits reset at midnight and monthly limits on the first day of the month, in America/Los_Angeles time. Counts survive server restarts and are shared by all users of this app in this environment.

Choose or create a lesson

New to lesson building? Start with a Quick Prompt Lesson: choose an existing environment and add your own teaching prompt.

Save / Push saves the lesson and updates any open room. Students receive the update when “Deliver lessons live to students” is on. Preview edits alone are not broadcast.

Import curriculum

Advanced import: choose a curriculum JSON file (or a text file containing JSON) with a curriculum name and a lessons array. Each lesson needs an ID, title, unit, era, inquiry question, coordinates, and three or five checkpoints with answer text. Three-checkpoint imports are expanded to five stops; preview all five before teaching.

Imported lessons are saved in this browser only. The published catalog is not changed.
