Anyways, this is digressing a lot, anyone have experience setting
up multiple cameras to capture panoramas? Anyone have experience
stitching these images?

Unless I'm missing something fundamental, I think stitching and
georeferencing the images is quite straightforward given that they
will be at a known, fixed position from the gps receiver.
From a more practical point of view there are two further issues:
- there needs to be some compensation for potential differences in
exposure between shots on adjacent cameras (a KISS approach might
have 3 parallel cameras for each angle, one with auto exposure, one
higher, one lower, with post-processing to determine which of the
shots to use from each camera based on exif tags, histogram analysis
etc...)
- capture in suboptimal conditions should be avoided - this included
the obvious such as avoiding precipitation, but also bright sunlight.
Fortunately northern Europe is blessed with clouds providing many
hours of lovely diffuse light ideal for photography.
Cheers,
Andrew
