Unity terrain - build terrain from google maps

I am brand new to Unity, but I was wondering if there is a way to create terrain by somehow capturing a piece of Google Earth, and somehow exporting it to the engine's terrain editor? If there isn't a direct way of doing this, could someone suggest the best way to go about copying a portion of Google Earth (or something similar) to build a terrain?

For completion, a pricy tool that does most of the work for you: Real World Terrain: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/real-world-terrain-8752 It has good reviews.

If you are serious about it, keep in mind that AAA titles build worlds still manualy from reference pictures.

Hey dreamer (or) If you want to change industry:

Good base data from goverment (swiss only) costs between few 100k up to 2M, while free to students. Heigh educated knowledge of AI, software engineering and some math required. Hudge manpower needed. Buildings are the biggest problem.
