I think there is a misunderstanding here? I would
say that the geocoding is not "ok" for
the reason that the image's location is
correct, its field of view is not set correctly.
This means that if you look at the image in Google
Earth you see the image as a small arc (only 74º
wide) which is not correct as it is a 360. If you
click on " Place this Panorama in Google
Earth" again and enter "360" for
the field of view, then you will find that in
Google Earth the image is a full circle and looks
much better (in my opinion!). I hope this is of
interest and/or helpful :-)
Ah, I know the answer to that one. The gigapan.org system only picks
up the right field of view if you stitch and
upload using their software. If you use anything
else (and I also use APP) then it generally says
"Field of View: Unknown" so in fact what
I don't know is why it says "74
degrees" for yours. I can only think that you
typed this number in somewhere, or, more likely,
when you geocoded it, the geocoding software
guessed that it was 74º. If you go back into the
geocoding dialog, you can manually tell it that
the FoV is 360º and then it will look right in GE.

The geocoding is ok. 360 degrees I have no idea.

Yes, you are right. It is 360 degrees wide but stitched with Autopano Pro I don`t know why it indicate 74 degrees

Is this really only 74 degrees wide? It looks close to 360 to me.
