You can move manually any panoramas with the ''move'' button or make a rotation with the ''rotate'' button. The rotation will add 15 degrees every time it’s pressed. 15 degrees = 24 clicks to make a full 360 rotation.

Align your Panorama

If the system is not able to align automatically the panorama, you will see a pop-up window, and you can choose between Place Myself or Select the Nearest. Use Select Nearest if you know which panorama has a direct line of sight with your latest shoot or place it manually if the system is still not able to place your panorama.
