Oh, the trick is so cool I used it as soon as it was mentioned by Kay
here on the list. It's perfect to calculate the heading of a panorama if
you publish it on 360cities.net so links to other panoramas point in the
right direction, like here:
<http://www.360cities.net/image/seinskopf-peak-above-isar-valley>
Kay's trick works great here, and I really like Erik's approach of
including the wolfram search in an exiftool command.
Exiftool can write the coordinates e.g. from a simple GPS logger in your
images, and it's very fast.
In another case when the sun was in the clouds

I needed another approach: I knew my panorama's coordinates and spotted
a well known hut somewhere in the distance:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knorr_Hut>. It was easy to find both in
Google Maps and then calculate the angle from a screenshot.

If I understood well it gives us a final URL that we need to
access to
get the final information, is it? So, the script could be
improved to
get it itself and give the user the final information.
The original script actually does: it opens the web page containing
the information. Of course you could parse the page and get the
relevant value, but I think this would bee too much effort. Best
would be 360cities would integrate that.
On unix it would probably be only one command line to do this parse
(grep+sed). No effort at all :) but surely any effort is too much if no
one is going to use it ;)
