Perfect pin placement in Pano2VR 6
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2017 12:23 am
Everybody knows that placing a node pin in the right place with Google Maps, is not just time consuming but also close to impossible.
Martin (Hopki) has promised that there will an option to overlay a floor plan over Google maps in Pano2VR 6 which is great but I've started to wonder if this is the right approach.
I've tried overlaying a floor plan on Google maps in Pano2VR by using a transparent window software (Peek through for Windows), but the pins still didn't end up exactly where I wanted them to.
It could be that the placement would have been more accurate if I had only zoomed in but I needed to see the entire building to know where to overplay the floor plan.
Anyway, this got me thinking that I actually don't care about where the pins are placed on the map, I just care about where the node links (the X markers) are visually placed in the actual Google tour.
Ideally, I should be able to use the pano2vr viewer to place the pins in Google Maps. Then I don't need to ask for the floor plan every time. Google should be able to share what the visual distance from the Nadir to the horizon of the image equals to on Google Maps.
I hope this feature will find its way into Pano2VR as well?
