+!!! warning
+    MapStore allows you to load also [Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/maps-platform/create-immersive-3d-map-experiences-photorealistic-3d-tiles) and some constraints need to be respected in this case.
+    Since the Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles are not ‘survey-grade’ at this time, the use of certain MapStore tools could be considered derivative and, for this reason, prohibited. Please, make sure you have read the [Google conditions of use](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tile/policies)
+    (some [FAQs](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/maps-platform/commonly-asked-questions-about-our-recently-launched-photorealistic-3d-tiles) are also available online for this purpose) before providing Google Photorealistic 3D Tile in your MapStore maps in order to enable only allowed tools (e.g. *Measurement* and *Identify* tools should be probably disabled).
+    For this purpose it is possible to appropriately set the [configuration of MapStore plugins](../../developer-guide/maps-configuration/#map-options)  to exclude tools that could conflict with Google policies. Alternatively, it is possible to use a dedicated [application context](application-context.md#configure-plugins) to show Photorealistic 3D Tiles by including only the permitted tools within it.
