Minimap/radar overlay

[Tinh Truong]

Hi,

Can I implement something like http://krpano.com/tours/bkeller/index.html with the current Marzipano API using pure javascript?

Basically what I try to do is to display a fixed position minimap/radar using a HTML element display on top of Marzipano.

I am thinking to use Leafletjs/Google Map API to display the minimap.

Feedback is welcome!

Hi Tinh,

It's certainly possible to implement such a map with Marzipano using a flat image with hotspots placed on top. For the "radar" effect, you'd have to listen for the viewChange event and set the appropriate style on the hotspot for the current scene.

However, note that the Google Maps API terms of service don't let you use their images with third-party APIs. In order to display the map using Marzipano, you'd have to get the images from some other source.

Hi Tiago,

Thanks for your quick reply. Can I display a full-blown HTML page instead of an image?

Any hints are welcome!

Marzipano's API is meant to be used with images or videos.

If you want to display hotspots on top of a Google Maps instance, you could try using their markers API. It's probably less work than trying to adapt Marzipano to that purpose.
