  4. The map and satellite images provided in the Terrain Generator come from a third-party tool (Mapbox). The images are not date stamped, though they are generally between 6-18 months out. The map resolution depends on location and availability of satellite data. In some areas, the resolution can be 1 km x 1 km.
