Google maps in ESRI web application

[SrinivasaRao1]

We would like to use google maps in ESRI web application, Can someone please answer below queries

1. Is it possible to use Google Basemaps in ArcGIS Web Maps using esri JavaScript API ?
2. Can we use Google live traffic service in ArcGIS Web Maps ?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Use of Google maps in products other then the Google Maps API is a violation of their terms of service and is forbidden. 

[SrinivasaRao1]

Thanks for quick reply, but is there any other way to use other than google maps API.

[RobertScheitlin__GISP · Accepted solution]

No.

Robert is correct. But you know what's not a violation? Migrating from Google Maps to the JS API:

Thank you for providing information.

It's absolutely 100% possible, but it's frowned upon by the GIS community for some reason.  Just do a google (LOL) search for "add google maps to agol".  It's the solcalgis link that shows how to do it.  I've been using that method since 2009 and it still works.

I've been running red lights since 2009 (kidding of course) -  technically 100% possible.. neither are 'legal'.  ESRI and Google relationship dissolved some time ago. Neither allow either to mix their products since 10.3. next up:  how to scrape tiles for free!  After that:  using Geocoders in batches for free!

It's amazing to me how many GIS professionals moonlight as copyright claim lawyers.
