Google Cardboard Skin rotating issue

I'm noticing with multi node tours that when I try to navigate to the next pano it'll open and rotate back to a default view for each pano. I've tried using true north and the issue still occurs. How can I make it so that when the user moves on to the next pano they are still facing forward?

Hi Hopki, it looks like this is still doing this in the latest releases, do you have an ETA on a fix or do you konw of an existing work around to mitigate this behavior? TIA.

HI LArchProf,
If you disable True North and use Target view it should work ok.
The problem is Android no longer uses true north, however this may change.

Off topic: There is True North and Magnetic North.
I think our Android Ver 7 "Yougart" is using Magnetic North which is a few degrees off actual True North.
Find a "Magnetic Declination" calculator at NOAA website. Fill in your zip code, Country or 'Choose a city' to learn the magnetic Lat and Long offset.

Or it might be the difference between Magnetic North and the direction YOU think is North. When out on a photo site for me North is just " my pointy finger That way ->"

Hi vrxpert,
The problem is we noticed with some new Android phones that have no compass so true north is not working.
If you want to use target view then deselect True North in the template settings.
