The integrated GPS receiver logs the exact position and date & time for each set of images recorded. With this extra data the Image Processing Server then geotaggs the DIY-streetviews EXIF with Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Image Direction and Date & Time of recording for easy mapping.
The custom software has been developed to work closely with the unique features of the DIY-streetview camera. It not only mass-processes sets of images into panoramas, it also levels with the orientation data and geotaggs with the GPS data recorded by the camera. It then converts the panoramas into a file format suitable for display on the Internet by the Google custom streetview API v3 based player and uploads data to the included database to enable navigation.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Would be cooler if it were Open Hardware, though. It’s only partly DIY, as in "use it to do your own image capture", not as in "actually make it yourself". THUMBS DOWN.
P.S. the resistor color code “captcha” thingy is nearly impossible for us colorblind people!!!
Very cool. Thumbs up.
