ViewAt.org is like Flickr meets Google Maps meets [insert your favorite panoramic camera here]. Just find your favorite dream destination on the world map, click the pushpin and go. One of the site’s founders assures me that there are over 600 photos online at the moment and the site’s growing every day.
The site’s a bit slow, but that’s to be expected given the large file size of panoramic images. On the plus side, it’s free, easy to use, and very addictive.
