Where do I apply and what is the hourly rate? I assume all travel expenses are also paid. On a serious note, in the footsteps of OpenStreetMap that could be a great next community project: write the software for the infrastructure and the camera gear, open the designs of data collecting hardware (for the 3D printers) and let people upload their treks.
Great, now when the f * am I going to get terrain back on Maps for Android?! Last summer, my phone provided some information about terrain difficulty for light hikes (serious ones should involve a paper map so that you're not screwed if you lose battery/signal/whatever), bike rides and whatnot. This summer, with a newer, fancier, Nexus 4, that information is gone. The world is flat, indeed.

I think they will post your copyright text somewhere in some corner, giving you some pixels of fame.
I would like to try something like this just to test what kind of "being there" feeling would be achievable with the current tech.
It's mind boggling how bad the arabic translation is at: http://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetvie... It's like they ran the text in google translate and never bothered to check the results.
Never mind the actual window-washers and builders who made these buildings are de-facto slaves to the Monarch of Dubai Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Then in the next demo over they try to get all multicultural with the first nations language "ᓱᑯᑦᑎᐊᓃᒃᑲᓗᐊᕐᖓᑦ ᐃᖃᓗᐃᑦ? " http://www.vice.com/vice-news/the-slaves-of-dubai

If you use the distance measurement button, it tells you the elevation of the segment you are measuring, I believe. I know this is not the same thing, but maybe it's helpful.
