What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A viewing system for a mobile apparatus comprising:
 a first viewing camera mounted above the mobile apparatus and angled downwardly forwardly;   a second viewing camera mounted above the mobile apparatus and angled downwardly rearwardly, images from the first and second cameras being overlapped with each other and combined together to form a single combined image showing front and rear ends, and sides, of the mobile apparatus as well as some adjacent environment, to provide remote viewing of the mobile apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  in which the apparatus is a lawn mower. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  in which the images are combined together in an overlapping manner. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  in which the cameras are mounted to a structure extending above a carriage of the apparatus and each have views, one camera being angled downwardly forwardly and the other camera being angled downwardly rearwardly, the views of the cameras being overlapped with each other, the single combined image showing front and rear ends, and sides, of the apparatus as well as some adjacent environment. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  in which the apparatus includes at least two cameras mounted thereto, and the images from the at least two cameras being combined together to form a single combined image. 
     
     
         6 . A method of viewing a mobile apparatus comprising:
 mounting a first viewing camera above the mobile apparatus and angled downwardly forwardly;   mounting a second viewing camera above the mobile apparatus and angled downwardly rearwardly, images from the first and second cameras being overlapped with each other and combined together to form a single combined image showing front and rear ends, and sides, of the mobile apparatus as well as some adjacent environment, to provide remote viewing of the mobile apparatus.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising operating the apparatus as a lawn mower. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising combining the images together in an overlapping manner. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising mounting the cameras to a post extending above a carriage of the apparatus and each camera viewing views, one camera being angled downwardly forwardly and the other camera being angled downwardly rearwardly, the views of the cameras being overlapped with each other, the single combined image showing front and rear ends, and sides, of the apparatus as well as some adjacent environment. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising mounting at least two cameras to the apparatus and combining the images from the at least two cameras together to form the single combined image.
