    I’d love to make a similar thing with google maps and store their high resolution remote sensing images in a georeferenced format, but I don’t have enough storage for even 1% of that.

      I think Anna’s archive actually has a bounty on that or at least a very related task.

      So if you’ve found a way to economically scrape the street view 360° pictures definitely let them know. As far as I understand if you can prove you have a working method for scraping they will do what they can in terms of infrastructure and such to get it done.

      The gitlab on which this is explained is down for me atm.
