Hi Hopki and all,
is there any recent experience of how long, and if, tour links across quite extensive distances are getting added to uploaded Streetview tours. The Streetview Link and Streetview uploaded tags are showing. And the individual panos are showing in Streetview. But there are no arrows linking the panos.
Here's the very much early work-in-progress tour - digitaldarwin.au

Cheers from sunny Darwin, Australia - Matt

Hi Matt
What’s the distance between nodes?
Google say 1 meter for inside and 3 meters for outside.
But many tours working ok with distances much wider.
Did you check if all your panoramas are maps approved? This can be done in the Street View app or in Pano2VR 7 in the Street View Browser.

Hi Hopki,
The pano's are being accepted and show in Street view and the Streetview Link and Streetview uploaded tags are showing.
The pano's are kilometres apart - as can be seen at digitaldarwin.au.
Any, guidance on this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

Moved this topic to the correct forum.
If your nodes are kilometres apart then do not expect Google to link them on Street View.
Here is a Street View tour I made which has the widest distance between nodes I have managed to build: https://goo.gl/maps/8HUNqnVdkGbECvwB6

But as Goole says 1 meter for inside and 3 meters for outside, you can not complain if nodes wider apart do not link.
But as said I have managed to push the limit many times, to 10 meters without issue.

Hi Hopki,
Arrhh, ok so Google doesn't accept nodes more than a couple of 10's of metres apart. Understood. That's a shame but I did suspect that may be a limiting factor. Thanks.
Cheers, Matt
