Robin Good's insight:
Thanks to "photo spheres" and Google Maps you can now create your own "street view" of any place on earth. To do so you must first shoort "photo spheres" with a dedicated app for your Android smartphone or through your DLSR camera. "Creating Street View from your photo spheres is as easy as connecting the dots into what looks like a “constellation” of stars." You can even connect your photo spheres to our Google's own Street View panoramas.

Differently than creating a map in Google Maps by using the "My Places" feature where you can only add placemarks, paths, and shaded shapes, Build-a-Map allows you to add directly your own data sets, special shapes and custom labels.
