Google recently announced its new Google Maps Platform and with it comes a change in their pricing for their map APIs starting June 11th. Due to this change, we needed to make some adjustments to our API calls. Please update to the new releases (Pano2VR 5.2.4 and 6 beta 3) as we may need to block the old API keys to the maps which may cause the Google Street View export to stop working or be limited in functionality starting in early June.
Pano2VR 5.2.4
Adds some optimizations for Google Maps API calls.
Download the update here or go the Help menu and check for updates.
Pano2VR 6 Beta 3
Pano2VR 6 Beta 3 is now available and it brings fixes and improvements.
Here are some highlights:
- AutoTags can now be used in the Skin Editor
- Roll can be disabled in the gyroscope
