Could you run a couple of these with a gps on a single pi to make a 360 camera for streetview? I have a spare 4b and could really use updated street view for my job.

Theoretically, yes. In practice that is a lot of work. Depending on how accurate you want your street view to be, GPS alone might not be enough. You'd need to add inertial data as well and probably some post processing to get your trajectory down to a few meters. Otherwise each set of pictures might have 10 or 20 meters of horizontal error in their positions.

TLDR mobile mapping is hard. Source: I work in GNSS validation.
