Using Google Street View Photos as Wallpapers [A How-To Guide]

Google Street View photos are cluttered with interface controls. Google gives free monthly credit to developers to use the Street View API to create clean Street View wallpapers. The Street View Static API has a function to return a photo from a given location. But the maximum size allowed is 640x640. Not ideal for a wallpaper. The API wouldn't help me with that, so I was left with the brute force approach. It's still very much brute force because checking if a given pair of coordinates is valid on Street View is quite difficult.
