Main gained three imagery providers (Google Street View, KartaView,
Panoramax), shared line-coverage, cone and photo-viewer modules, one source
lit at a time and the translated interface. Their shared modules still
carried what this branch removes, so the merge ports them onto it:
- lineCoverage.js is this branch's coverage.js made provider-neutral
(draped lines near the ground only, the selection drawn over them, key
and rate-limit blocking); sequenceCones.js is sequences.js the same way.
Mapillary, KartaView and Panoramax all build on them; Mapillary moves
back to providers/mapillary/ beside the others.
- No ground casting, mesh sampling, surface modes, FOLLOW, legend, prewarm,
orbit overview points (Panoramax's density dots included), stale-tile
swaps or water-filled point budget come back.
- Kept from main because the new providers need them: requiresMapStack and
attachMapStackController (Street View on Google 3D only), ground clicks,
openNearest with an optional provider nearestImage, openImage {frame},
reportError, the view-cone marker (now an SVG glyph), filters /
coverageLabel / sinceBasis, OPEN STREET VIEW, keyAlternatives and i18n.
- photoViewer.js treats the viewer as expanded when its wrap is full screen
or the iPhone popover, as EXPAND now is.
- The fixture browser gate keeps its 8 steps and adds one each for
KartaView and Panoramax; catalogs, docs, boundaries and format scope
follow.

Panoramax, the open federated street-level commons, registers beside
Mapillary, Google Street View and KartaView. Its meta-catalogue
(api.panoramax.xyz) is keyless and CORS-open, so it runs in the browser:
- coverage from its vector tiles: sequence lines at z11–14 below 30 km
(longest first under the per-tile cap), and above that the grid layer's
density cells as binned points, not counted as sequences;
- a click on a line opens that sequence's picture nearest the click
(STAC search, any direction), without moving the camera, then any
sequence's if it has none within 50 m; the 360° and since filters go to
the lines and to the API;
- cones from the z15 tiles' pictures layer around the open picture
(~110 bytes a picture, against ~7.5 kB for a STAC item), re-centred when
a picture opens outside them; ‹ › follow the picture's prev/next links;
- the caption names the author (not an account named by an email
address) and the picture's licence (StreetPose `license`), and links to
the picture in the Panoramax viewer; the globe credits Panoramax.
KartaView's viewer becomes the shared photoViewer.js (flat <img>, 360° on
panorama.js, ‹ ›, keyboard, pinch, context loss), driven by a per-provider
PhotoSources table; the request limiter moves to limiter.js. Panoramax shows
the 2,048 px SD derivative and fetches the HD original only when the viewer
is wide enough, once, shrunk while it decodes (never above 8,192 px).
Orange #ff6f00 (Panoramax's own), off by default, share option
0.m.0_0.r.panoramax-1. The MCP panel allows the meta-catalogue and the
biggest instances. Tests: policy, decode, source, viewer, provider, and a
Panoramax fixture in the hermetic browser gate.
