Hello, I have a project where the image media are partial horizontal panormas without any GPS or compass metadata. I have been using a flat projection, and I can estimate the locations to put the nodes on a Tour Map. I am trying to resolve calibrating the Tour Map field of view to reflect the FOV of the partial panorama. The Tour Map assumes a 360 degree horizon, so after I set the North the rotation rarely lines up with the field of view. Setting viewing limits only works on the Properties of the main image, but doesn't seem to reflect any changes to the Tour Map. I figure that this is a limitation in the application, and not something that is adjustable for a partial panorama. Here is my current draft of the tour. Any ideas would be appreciated. https://mphamilton.com/carls_project/

Thanks,

There’s an option in “Properties – Panorama” under the “Input” section for specifying the Horizontal FoV.

I made a copy of your initial image, plugged it into a quick test project with an estimated field of view of 220 degrees, and found the map and the main view sync’ed up nicely. Hopefully that will work for you.

I enjoyed your pictures! I was walking those same paths just a few weeks ago.

Here's a link to the results I got. See if it's what you are after.
