Hi ggnome team,
i only can do "Landschaftsmerkmal wählen" in the main map, not on the floorplans.

first
It would be nice to do "landschaftsmerkmal wählen" on floorplans too. Because indoor panoramas are difficult to reference to outdoor objects.

second
when moving a panorama to a slightly different place, it is only moved on the current map / floorplan. it would be nice when the position change in one map or floorplan can correct the position in other maps and floorplans too.

greetings from germany
Chris

Hi Chris,
The Pick Landmark is to obtain North, so it is really designed for the satellite map.
That said you can obtain this in the floor plan as well.
So the first job is to geolocate a Floor Plan to maps, then add your nodes to the floor plan.
All you have to do then is rotate the pano to a wall or door, hold down the "N" key and rotate the radar so it's pointing the same way.
It does not necessarily have to be north, you are just aligning the radar with the direction you are looking.

With regards to moving a map pin, as long as all the floor plans are Geolocated, if you switch the tour map to show Maps or a different floor plan, moving the pin will move it in all maps and floor plans.

So the key is to Geolocate the Floor plan as your first step and then copy the data to all floor plans as long as they are all the same scale.
