Is a particular Web Browser or plug-in required to view iNeTours.com?
Considerable effort has been made to design iNeTours.com to be enjoyable by everyone, but because there are so many variations between browsers and new capabilities being added all the time we recommend using the latest version available.
You will need the Quicktime™ plug-in to view panoramas. Some newer browsers automatically install this plug-in or you can download it here.

How often are reviews and panoramas added or updated? Can I be notified?
Content on iNeTours.com is updated frequently, usually weekly. Many additions are planned and a few are near completion including additional Neighborhoods—with many more panoramas, more destinations— Lake Tahoe and Reno will be next followed by Carmel and Monterey and the East Bay.
Check the What’s New button on the Home Page or any Neighborhood Page to see the latest additions.
We don't currently have an auto notification feature but are considering RSS feeds.

How are the panoramas at iNeTours.com produced?
Panoramic images are shot with a Canon digital SLR camera attached to a Kaidan™ panoramic tripod head on top of a Tiltall™ tripod. Panoramas with this setup require 12 frames shot in vertical orientation. The images frequently require some Adobe™ Photoshop adjustment prior to stitching with Apple™ Computer’s QTVR Authoring Studio and then again before the flat image is converted into a scrollable panorama.
Check out the Links page for more information and other sites utilizing panoramic images and QuickTime VR™.
|
Where can I see a list of all the panoramas on iNeTours.com?
You can see a complete listing of all the panoramas on iNeTours.com, organized by City or location, on the Site Map Page. You can then click on each panorama name to go directly to the Landmarks Page to choose the size of QTVR™ you wish to view.

My modem is too slow to really enjoy the large panoramas. What can I do?
If you are an AOL™ user you might want to consider minimizing or closing the AOL window after connecting to the Internet then launching another browser before connecting to iNeTours.com.
Another possibility is multitasking—you know—what your kids do. Click to download the panorama, then continue reading that letter or magazine article, or go get a cup of coffee, or whatever else you want to do that takes a few minutes.

How can I advertise on iNeTours.com?

The 'Crumb Trail' doesn’t always reflect the path I took. Why?
The Crumb Trail on iNeTours.com (at the top of the page below the iNeTours.com Logo like the 'Home<FAQ's' on this page) is a navigation aid to help you find your way around the site. It shows the path that would have been used if you moved through the site from Home page > City page > Neighborhood page > Panorama Landmark page which is the way many visitors travel and the basic underlying organization of the site. It's a useful way to orient yourself, or to leap to a major linking page.
You can, of course, use your browsers back button to return one page at a time the way you arrived if you linked from a different page or another site. Click on the iNeTours.com Logo at the top of any page to go to the Home page, or check out the Site Map — accessable from the Home page.
