This page gives you a variety of different ways of surfing through the tens of thousands of gigapan images.

• Show gigapans near a given gigapan.
• Show gigapans near a given city. (NEW)
• See you selection of gigapans in Google Earth.
• See all the gigapans made by a particular person. (Experimental.)
• View random gigapans. (Under development.)
• Surf the world of gigapans in Google Earth.

The last option needs some comment. You start with a view of the Earth showing all regions in the world where gigapans have been taken. The regions are colour-coded: red regions contain the most gigapans and blue regions the fewest. Click on a region to get two options:

• Load Gigapans. This displays where the gigapans in a given region are and zooms in to that area. Click on a gigapan's marker to see the gigapan. Unfortunately some gigapans are incorrectly geocoded which means that when GE should zoom in it zooms out :-(
• Gallery. Clicking on this links will attempt to make a multi-page gallery of the gigapans in the region. Different gigapans have different shapes and this make3s it surprisingly difficult to make a neatly-arranged page of images. The way I have chosen to do it is most charitably described as 'experimental'. Just click through using the defaults/first links if you don't want to wade through the blurb. NB the gallery option does not work well for regions with low numbers of gigapans.
