title: download and store google street view panoramas based on lat/long
body: <p>I have a data set of locations (9000 records) which I have long/lat for.  I would like to give each location a photo.  It would be neat to use google street view photos for this.  I dont want to rely on the service, rather I would prefer to store the images on my end.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to have my server pull in the images from the google maps api if I provide long/lat?  If someone could point me in the right direction that would certainly help.  </p>
  
  <p>I can implement this via php or ruby/rails.  </p>
  
  <p>My other concern is the legality of doing so, but I would assume this may not be the right place to ask that question.</p>
