Hello, a while ago I saw in the news feed window when pano2vr opens that it now supports Google Street View default view. Did I imagine that?! As I can't find anything about it when I search the forum.

I have a business view tour on google maps that need's the first pano's default view changing.

Thanks.

HI,
Google seems to use the centre of the Equirectangular image as its starting view.
If you set a default view in Pano2VR not only does it add this to the meta data but Pano2VR also remaps the pano so the default view is in the centre.
So if Google does not read the meta data it should still open looking the correct way because the pano has been remapped to show that direction.
However the truth of the matter is it seems quite random.
One of my tours seems to open differently when using my Google account on the desktop. To that opened with a browser logged out.
Regards,
Hopki
