Extracts a street view panorama from [ latitude, longitude ] input (or google.com/maps/ URL). If not specified, will extract a random Awesome StreetView.

You can also specify "current" as the location, and it will use the browser's geolocation API to determine your latitude/longitude.

If no --output is given, the PNG is written to stdout.
