Hello, I have the Mapping toolbox and a Google API key. How do I add Google as a basemap? It is not clear from the addCustombasemap documentation.

In addCustomBasemap(basemapName,URL) the parameter basemapname refers to the name that you will use to specify your custom basemap. ‘URL’ specifies the website that provides the map data.
For example
name = 'opentopomap';
url = 'a.tile.opentopomap.org';
addCustomBasemap(name,url)
Adds the custom basemap 'opentopomap' to the list of basemaps for use with mapping functions. Now you could use this basemap with mapping functions

Hello Sahiti,
Thanks.
I was specifically looking for the parameters for Google Maps. However Kunal Patil did send them to me.

To add google satellite basemap you can use the following code:
ax = geoaxes;
name = 'googleSat'; url = 'https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}';
addCustomBasemap(name,url)
geobasemap(ax,name)
you can also use other basemaps by changing the URL and choosing a new name for them, here are some other name/URL pairs:
name = 'BingAerial'; url = 'http://ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{q}.jpeg?g=1';
name = 'GoogleHybrid'; url = 'https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}';
name = 'openStreetMap'; url = 'http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png';
