I found this thread ([link](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/how-to-overlay-google-map-image-onto-elevation-data-from-a-vtk-file/3288)) and tried to use the uploaded .pvsm file, along with the bath.vtk and jpg. I got the same error as the original poster (https://discourse.paraview.org/t/how-to-overlay-google-map-image-onto-elevation-data-from-a-vtk-file/3288/11?u=datathing) but I couldn’t figure out how to follow the final piece of advice: > [@How to overlay Google Map image onto elevation data from a vtk file](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/how-to-overlay-google-map-image-onto-elevation-data-from-a-vtk-file/3288/12): > > This is for the texture. Not an actual issue, just load your image as a texture and use it on the WarpByScalar output. I cannot see a way to apply the texture on the WarpByScalar output, but I’m sure this is just a lack of familiarity with the UI. I tried searching the User Guide and searching for related topics but couldn’t quite get it. --- _[View the full topic](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/draping-textures-on-top-surface-of-a-structured-unstructured-grid-or-variable-elevation-surface/7331)._
