Open Source Street View... (lemmy.zip)

I was wondering why there isn't or if there is, an Open Source (Free, or not) Street View like Google Maps. I like geography as a hobby, like my other hobbies, and found GeoHub which sparked my interest in being a free geoguessr alternative. I just don't understand why Google is the only Mapping service people go to, is Google the only one that has street view? is this a hard business model to achieve?

Please, I'd love too know :)

If it was encoded as super low framerate 360deg video files and you just seek to the place in the stream that matches the coordinates, it could use kits stage and bandwidth than other solutions, but it’s still going to be a lot of bytes.
