"Mapjack.com showcases a new level of mapping technology. What others have done with NASA budgets and Star Wars-like equipment, we've done on a shoestring budget, along with a few trips to Radio Shack. Specifically, we developed an array of proprietary electronics, hardware and software tools that enable us to capture an entire city's streets with relative ease and excellent image quality. We have a complete low-cost scalable system encompassing the entire work-flow process needed for Immersive Street-Side Imagery, from picture gathering to post-processing to assembling on a Website. Jack's on a mission, on foot, by car, and by boat. Our coverage area doesn't stop street-side, we also include walking areas such as Parks, Universities and famous walking streets. San Francisco is only our starting point, more coverage and more cities coming soon." going places where google will not.. http://www.mapjack.com/ and an article discussing the issue of privacy <http://www.theage.com.au/news/web/roving-candid-camera-snaps-thailands-sin-city/2008/05/28/1211654085663.html> k
