In the past I've spotlighted tools and sites that utilize the Google Maps API to create a front-end viewing interface to a high resolution image. XRez Extreme Resolution Photography brings us this next example replacing Google Maps tiles with some stunning stitched together photos. Their gallery of gigantic photos include such places as Yosemite, the Mohave Desert in the US and the fjords of Norway. Click on any of these photos to bring up a full screen, high resolution view of some totally awesome digital photos. To use the viewer, double left click to zoom in and double right click to zoom out.. Very nice views and a slick use of the Google Maps API!

We have a similar problem right now with views we took from a stratospheric balloon (http://sei.tamu.edu/geocam/pictures.htm)
for instance, we have this one
http://sei.tamu.edu/geocam/Panoramas/panorama_22-23-50pct.htm
but it is a small part of the larger collection. How do we get started on producing these given that we already have a 4GB image file ?

We have produced many hundreds of 360 degree panorama views around the U.S. and in Jamaica. Some of these can be found on an Interactive U.S. map:

I have created a few KMZ files for a few panoramas and have been contributing them to the Google Earth Community:
Environment and Conservation area. (Do a search for "Jamaica Protected Areas")
Nature and Geography area: (Do a search for "Idaho's Owyhee Canyonlands")
