Hi mappers!

I‘ve an idea for a new Therion-feature.

The feature affects only the elevation view, in a stated view direction.

The target is, to get a map with a elevation projection and a reference to the surface.

If a surface is integrated in the project, it could be used to generate automatically a surface-panorama from the surface point-cloud, on the basis of the elevation-view-direction. And this could be printed to the elevation map.

(like http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/panoramas.html)

With an layout option should it be controlled: e.g.:

elevation-panorama on|grid|off

off:

no surface panorama (default)

on:

One panorama piece, calculated from view direction and the middled object extension.

Or serval panorama pieces, one per entrance reference or/and the panorama was calculated by topographic prominence in the integrated surface.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence)

grid:

serval panoramas (each calculated on the grid value, opaque on top of each other)

Optional:

With a waypointlist in the surface block could be peak’s or other interessts marked.

Or with a new fixed station flag, e.g. „peak“.

This would be a nice feature.

Is this possible? Or absolutely utopistic?
