Definition
A panoramic image is a wide-format photograph that captures a broad, sweeping view, often covering 180 degrees or more. Panoramic images can be created by stitching multiple photos together or using specialized cameras or lenses.
Adding a panoramic image to a map point in the Land id™ platform involves attaching a 360-degree or wide-angle image to a specific location on the map.
Caution: To add panoramic photos in Land id™, the photo must be:
- Must be a JPEG or JPG file
- Must be a 2:1 ratio, and at least 4,000 pixels wide
- Must be 50MB or less
Tip: We recommend the Insta360 as a great camera for taking panoramic images for your Land id™ maps.
