Though seeing the view for real is a bit different than seeing it on the internet! ;-) Also there are other use cases, e.g. being out in the field, and using it as a navigation tool on your phone. >"Come on dear, just a few hundred meters more and you will see that >lovely >panorama on the OTVtown you admired on OTV last week." >A map, OK but streetview for footpaths ....

TBH I'd prefer it's a low-barrier-to-entry project with less-than-perfect (but adequate) panoramas where all you need is a standard camera and the ability to use photo-stitching software. Having to cart around lots of equipment would rather reduce my own interest and I suspect, others. My tests so far seem to suggest that the panoramas generated by basic equipment are adequate, though if I am missing something let me know.
