I got mixed feedback on that overlay and will probably take it down in
the next version.

I find it handy, but it obstructs the view. Making it available yet unobtrusive would be nice. Perhaps it could automatically appear only when the mouse is over a particular corner and the mouse button is not depressed (the user is not panning). I like the overview it provides.


It would also be cool if the overlays could be toggled off and on.
the user interface is already too cluttered. Technically the toggle is
very simple to implement. I doubt the end viewers would want to play
with that, though. My experience from an improvised usability lab is
that the users spend less than one minute on each pano. In 97% of the
cases they don't even zoom.

I understand. I try to keep my pages simple as far as layout and UI elements. It can be difficult when you want to provide functionality but not clutter the interface. A toggle doesn't necessarily have to be a clickable UI element that takes up screen real estate.


I don't use Google Earth for real estate stuff, though, as the GE
license seemed to prohibit it.
eh? I did not find anything when I read it - can you point me in the
right direction?

Well, I sure can't find it now. I must have been mistaken. :-/
