Street View coverage

Is there a Google resource available that lists all locations where
Street View is available ? As Street View coverage expands (I'm

helping sites keep an up-to-date list and/or map of which areas have
street view content.

I recently did some work which included making a non JS version of a

that it is just too small for some designs. 1024x1024 maximum size
would be enough for almost any design. Any possibility on getting
