If Google Street View missed your street and you want to rectify the absence, or if you want to embark on your own personal quest to map the world in a panoramic manner, the DIY streetview kit will give you the tools to do so.
Created by Streetview Technology, a Germany company, the kit comes with a camera equipped to map the world around you in a way that closely resembles what Google did. It also includes several SD cards for storing your images, a 12-volt battery to power the multi-sensor camera and a remote control.
The camera is capable of taking a completely three dimensional image of your surroundings, stamping a location on that image (thanks to its integrated GPS system) and then posting it to the Web.
