This is a cool tool which would be useful for those exploring mountain landscapes...
An interactive PANORAMA creator...
In January, I was fortunate enough to travel to Salzburg.
When taking off for the airport for the homeward journey after a wonderful 3 day visit for the digitalearth project, I had this incredible view across the Alps, south from Salzburg...
I could identify the features that I was looking at thanks to my iPhone app which did that for me (and was also made in Salzburg) but didn't have my phone switched on of course as I was on the plane...
The panorama maker provides a different version. You can set the starting point, the direction that the 'camera' is facing and the height of the 'camera'...
Here's what I produced in less than a minute... could have been a bit more accurate given more time...

There is also something similar for the UK with Gavin Brock's Ordnance Survey map layer for Google Maps.
