I've noticed a problem with location setting when using the map. The same problem I've come across in Lightroom, that also uses the google map.
The problem is: when I take the position on location with a GPS and use this position info like N51.49335 E3.50132 in the location settings page in 360 cities and put it in the search field it gives a wrong location. When I use the same info in the bottom corner I get the right position of the location.
Google seems to jump to nearby adresses instead of using the actual real location position, and thereby setting the location off sometimes bij 150 meters!.

Hi René,

Could you please post a screenshot of what you get when you click on the button "I agree to the terms and conditions" ?
Have you tried on another browser ?
Here's an example of what I get when I press the button.

Regards,

Franck

Hi Franck,
well nothing happens really. When I hoover over the button it turns blue, When I press it it turns dark blue and back to blue again. No popups, no code.
And yes I tried other browsers.....starting off with my standard browser Firefox, latest version, than tried Internet Explorer (never used it, so it came with popup that flash is required. Installed Flash from Adobe, that in turn installed CHrome also without a notice) so I tried all those browsers with same result.

Hi René,

Have you tried on other computers ?
I don't think the problem is 360cities side, and I wonder if any other users encounter this problem.
Let's see what the 360cities team will answer...

However, if this can troubleshoot, the embed code is always the same :

<iframe src="http://www.360cities.net/embed_iframe/handle-of-your-pano" width="425" height="315" frameborder="0" bgcolor="#000000" target="_blank"></iframe><br/><a title="Panorama photos of Name-of-your-pano on 360cities.net" href="http://www.360cities.net/image/handle-of-your-pano">Name-of-your-pano</a> in <a href="http://www.360cities.net/area/Name-of-the-area" title="Panoramic images from Name-of-the-area">Name-of-the-area</a>

Where you have to replace the handle-of-your-pano, Name-of-your-pano and Name-of-the-area.

For example, with my pano "http://www.360cities.net/image/beffroi-tournai-2-20130717", the embed code is :

<iframe src="http://www.360cities.net/embed_iframe/beffroi-tournai-2-20130717" width="425" height="315" frameborder="0" bgcolor="#000000" target="_blank"></iframe><br/><a title="Panorama photos of Sommet du beffroi de Tournai (#2) - Vue nord-ouest (sur la grand-place) on 360cities.net" href="http://www.360cities.net/image/beffroi-tournai-2-20130717">Sommet du beffroi de Tournai (#2) - Vue nord-ouest (sur la grand-place)</a> in <a href="http://www.360cities.net/area/belgium" title="Panoramic images from Belgique">Belgique</a>

Regards,

Franck

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your elaborate workaround.
I've tried on a totally different computer, my laptop, and still the same problem. Maybe it's not 360cities but I'm inclined to think so. Different browsers wasn't the solution as I tried yesterday. Some settings? I have settings that pano can be embedded.  popup appears.
But of course I'm very greatfull for your workaround, so thank you for the code. I hope someone at 360cities knows a solution though because copy/pasting is the way to go when you want 15 or so pano's embedded. Thanks
René v Gageldonk

Thanks en have a nice day
