    since its open i’m assuming you can download the data and host it yourself, freeing the regular public server not made for these requests. and that it would probably be cheaper than paying google for api calls.

    don’t quote me on any of that though, quite a bunch of assumptions off the top of my weary head. i’m not versed on the specifics of this magic box either and was hoping for someone who does to chime in.

      I don’t think there’s a way to get the street view images that are needed. Those are owned by google.
