Thanks! Actually used Pannellum: https://pannellum.org/


<https://pannellum.org/>

Note that there is one little issue, which I thought I'd resolved, but has 
recurred today, and *might* be down to Pannellum: occasionally (and 
inconsistently, i.e. there isn't a sequence of actions which causes it to 
happen) if you click on a camera icon when in map mode it doesn't load the 
panorama. Most of the time it's fine though.

Nice! Did you create your own panoviewer or did you use

Hi,


Some of you are probably aware that way back in 2010 I started developing 
OpenTrailView , which aims to be a StreetView-like web application but focusing 
on off-road routes such as hiking trails, with crowd-sourced panoramas.


Recently, due to the increasing availability of 360 cameras and the appearance 
of mature panorama APIs (e.g. Pannellum) and client-side routing APIs (GeoJSON 
Path Finder) I have restarted work on OpenTrailView and did an initial 
presentation at FOSDEM 2019 back in February.


Since then I have done further work and OpenTrailView, while still incomplete, 
is in a state where I believe it's ready to start receiving contributions.


It's available at

https://www.opentrailview.org/


You can get an idea of how it allows you to 'walk' along OSM ways by navigating 
in the default area (Southampton Common). There are also some panoramas 
available close to Fernhurst, West Sussex (lat 51.05, lon -0.72). There's a 
Nominatim search available if you switch to 'map' mode (see the map icon).


If you signup and then login, you can contribute your own 360 panos. Obviously 
follow the usual privacy considerations (no faces, no car number plates) - 
panos will be moderated before they go live to ensure they do not have any 
privacy violations amongst other things.


The key thing about this version is that it will use underlying OSM data to 
auto-connect panoramas. This was not done on any previous version.


However, note that while the site will accept panos anywhere in the world, at 
present, the auto-connection facility will only work in *Europe* plus Turkey (I 
am using the Europe Geofabrik extract), as my server currently only stores 
European data. Nonetheless I have had a possible offer of helping with hosting 
costs so expansion to the entire world could well happen soon.


The maps provided are rather basic, showing only highways, coastlines and a few 
selected POIs, this is due to server capacity constraints. If anyone is aware 
of a tile server I can use legitimately as a replacement, without violating the 
usage policy, please let me know.


In similar style to OSM, panos will be copyright 'OTV360 contributors' and 
licensed under CC-by-SA. IANAL but this seems to be the most common practice.


Do remember once again that this is an unfinished product but it is now in a 
state where I believe it is of interest to contributors.
