About Explorer

JuraMap history Trails is being moved to a Panoramax server and web viewer. The viewer is the Trails layer on the JuraMap raster map.

JuraMap Trails is based on the initial, open-source Trek View Explorer proof of concept (GitHub repository no longer available). The text below is taken from the proof of concept GitHub repository. A key document was the API Documentation (no longer available). We use Postman for loading tours and panoramas.

From 2020 to 2022 panoramas were taken using a Pixel 3 mobile phone. In 2023, a Pixel 4a started to be used. Panoramas need to be taken using the camera in "Photo Sphere" mode with the dropdown at the top of the screen set to "Horizontal".

The following text was taken from the Trek-View repository.

Discover the world with Trek View Explorer.

Share panoramic tours of the natural world with fellow trekkers around the world.

Or unleash the inner explorer and travel the globe without leaving home. Take a journey to sites of cultural, historical, and geographic significance.
