Why would i buy this and not just screenshot google maps which is way higher resolution?


It depends on your use case. I used this to take a picture of my backyard before and after landscaping. Kind of a toy use case.. but I’ve heard of more serious examples in agriculture and construction.


Google Maps in many urban areas is actually aerial imagery. Satellite imagery serves a different use case - often for difficult to access areas where aerial photography is not viable or permitted.
