You're thinking too small.  A Google Portal gun!  Tie it in to the street level view, register your Portal Unique Designator, and one of their Street View cars will generate a portal keyed to your device.  Simply open a portal on your end and step through!

As long as Google can imprint ads onto your genes or something.

You're still not thinking big enough. Gordon Freeman's already in France, right? Point a Google Portal to CERN and have HL3 set at CERN!
