Extensive help

The whole earth is covered (light blue: 3'' resolution, dark blue: 1'' resolution).
Naming of summits is most dense in the Alps and Pyrenees. In other regions it is taken from GeoNames; there everybody can contribute and correct data.

Restriction of maximum width to 14400 Pixel (= horizontal extension 360° with zoom factor 2)

14.05.2011 - In recent days, the requests have increased massively to this application. As a consequence, sometimes there result long times of waiting for the panoramas to appear.

Very broad panoramas bind disproportionate resources. Therefore I have restricted the maximum width of the full panoramas to allow the fairest possible sharing of the limited resources. The restriction does not apply to the panoramas sent by e-mail.

This restriction allows the creation of full 360-degree panoramas with zoom factor 2. Panoramas with higher zoom factors must be split.
