Dear all, I am making an on-location panoramic tour with a couple of panoramic renders (around a place where once was an old castle). Now I want people to walk to that location, stand on the spots on the map, and look at the castle on their phone. Two things are missing: 1) is there a way to put the current location of the user/phone on that map, like you can in google maps itself, 2) and is there a way in which the panorama can automatically orient itself, aligning (in my case) North.
This is the current state: https://dataportal.nioz.nl/visualmodels/VR/
Any further suggestions are also welcome!
Thanks for any suggestion. Johan

Hi,
you can use the browsers Geolocation API for this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…location-objektHere a quick example:
Code
Display More<action name="get_geo_location" type="Javascript"><![CDATA[ krpano.actions.showlog(); if ("geolocation" in navigator) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( function(position) { krpano.trace(1,"latitude=" + position.coords.latitude); krpano.trace(1,"longitude=" + position.coords.longitude); krpano.trace(1,"heading=" + position.coords.heading); }, function(err) { krpano.trace(1,"geolocation error: "+err.message); } ); } else { krpano.trace(1,"no geolocation support by the browser"); } ]]></action> <!-- a button for testing: --> <layer name="get_geo_location" keep="true" type="text" html="Get Geo Location" align="center" onclick="get_geo_location();" />
Best regards,

Thanks, the button surely works and gives data. But where to put the action and have a button attached to it? In tour.xml, or in the skin where the map is defined.
I must admit I am not really sure how to do that. Anybody?
Thanks in advance, Johan -
