This application makes use of an onducumented Google Maps API. While you may access them, there is no guarantee that this API will not change in the future revisions to Google Maps.

Example usage

var gp = require("gpan")
	, tmpDir = '/path/to/tmp/dir'

//all settings are optional and default to the shown values
gp.init({ zoom_level:0				//panorama zoom level, default 0
		,	tiles_prefix:'image_'   //tile image prefix, useful for montage
		,	path_to_image:'panos'	//panorama will create this folder and store the panorama in it
		,	output_prefix:'output_'	//prefix for the panorama image
		, tmp_dir: 'gpan_tmp'		//temp folder prefix
		, pub: true					// path_to_image relative to app root or public folder
		})
//each setting can be changed after init
gp.set('zoom_level', 3);

//retrieve panorama image for Times Square, New York
gp.savePanorama('3q57BxQpP8dNzwD0R5PIzg', tmpDir, function(err,path){
	if(err)
		return handleError(err);
	console.log(path); //will return the path where the panorama montage is stored
