• Note 1:
  • If the panorama name in KML is sample.jpeg then the tile names will be named by adding indices starting from the top-left tile and finishing with the bottom-right tile from left to right:

Name in KML:
 sample.jpeg
Tile names:
 sample_1_8.jpeg (top-left)
 sample_2_8.jpeg
 sample_3_8.jpeg
 sample_4_8.jpeg (top-right)
 sample_5_8.jpeg (bottom-left)
 sample_6_8.jpeg
 sample_7_8.jpeg
 sample_8_8.jpeg (bottom-right)

• Note 2:
  • HREF-tag in the KML file must have an absolute or relative from the WebGL Editor's index.html HTTP-path. Images and the Editor files must be stored on the same web server - WebGL fails to load images from external servers due to the security reasons.

Links

• Google KML reference
