Github repositories

  • pelmers/streetwarp-cli

    This resource offers a guide to create hyperlapse streetview images using GPX tracks. To get started, you need to install or build ffmpeg with h264 encoding, obtain a Google Maps API key, and activate the Streetview static API. The article provides cost estimates, highlighting that Google offers $200 of free credit monthly, and the API costs $0.007 per frame. It suggests using the --dry-run option to avoid hitting API quotas. The usage is demonstrated with a command example, and GPX files for experimentation are included in the repository. Additionally, the service is available at streetwarp.com for free.

  • pelmers/streetwarp-web
