Panoramas If you are a user of Google Earth, I am continually in the process of growing a collection of the panoramic photographs I take on all my hashes. To see it in action, inside Google Earth, add the following network link: http://geohashing.kerwin.net.au/pictures.kml and then double-click any of the placemarks. Unfortunately they don't seem to play well with the terrain; you may have to uncheck the Terrain box when you're inside a panorama. Hopefully I'll be able to work out a fix. Also, this doesn't appear to work with Google Maps, just Earth.
