Hey everybody,
if you open the Google Street View part in Pano2vr you can see below the place name external link (see attached image)
- external link.PNG (4.31 KiB) Viewed 4872 times
What does it do?/What is this function for?
Thanks for helping!

Hi Bert,
Moving this to the correct forum.
Have a look on this page:
https://ggnome.com/doc/panel-google-street-view/
At the bottom where it says, External Links, it has a description.
Regards,

Thanks Hopki for this link. Thats a very good overview to that topic.
I still dont understand what happened, when I fill this with a link. For excample, is it possible by this function to connect my tour to a working street view tour from Google?
Best regards!
Bert

Hi, Bert!
This lets you link to other tours...so you can connect to already existing tours.
For example, if you have tours of individual shops in a shopping center but you want to go from one shop to another, you can use this feature to connect the panoramas so you can move between those individual tours.

Hi Bert,
As Karyn says, you can only link to your own projects in your street view browser.
I know the question crops up time and time again about linking to Street View blue car/blueline.
The official is your starting node must be within 5 meters from the closest street view/blue line node.
Then that's it, over time Google will link to it.
But the reality is it does not work, or if it does it may break in a few weeks.
I know this is not very positive but my own experience is just this.
I built a tour and within a week it linked to the blue line, then after a few week, it unlinked.
It repeated this over three times and now unlinked for over a year.
Regards,

Dear Karyn and Hopki,
thanks a lot for your answers. I just read it today.
I think it great to connect to other own tours. I will try this. Interesting, how it will looks like within the tour.
Again, thanks a lot for all your support here and on youtube!!!
Have a great christmas time and stay healthy.
Bert
