Cool, I did not know about this feature.
It's nice. And BTW, I'd like to have adjustable split between map and photo list on Panoramio Map view for a long time...
and now... how to navigate on maps:
- To collapse split map view into small square - use icon "minimize" in the lower left corner of map.
- To go back to full map view from the full screen photo, you can use "arrow back" icon beside the photo tile. Unfortunately, it does not maintain the context in photo strip. And it's not far from usual "browser Back" button.
