I am trying to visualize some drone flights I did, measuring the signal strength. For this I want to use 3D scatter plots in matplotlib. Now it would be cool if I could use a map of the area as a base of the plot. For the map I would simply use Google Maps static api, that's no problem. Is this in any way possible, to add this to a 3D plot? I was thinking if plot_surface or imshow could work, but I had no success.

So in summary is it possible to integrate a image on the xy plane?

Here is a picture of how I imagine it to look.

    If it is an image, you can [display it on the z-axis pane](https://stackoverflow.com/a/37480529/8881141) – Mr. T Mar 04 '21 at 16:29
