Description

Hello,

Example panoid:

CAoSLEFGMVFpcE9YLTFZZFJHREtRMmotT0FsMjlna09Wd2dsTnNWNkxGX3dMdF9M

Here's a site that loads pano by panoid:

https://istreetview.com/CAoSLEFGMVFpcE9YLTFZZFJHREtRMmotT0FsMjlna09Wd2dsTnNWNkxGX3dMdF9M

I'm still investigating, but I think the URLs defined in getUrl.js don't account for custom panoramas.

For what it's worth, from what I have tested so far, official Google streetview panorama IDs work perfectly.

Anyway, just thought I would open an issue to get any feedback/advice. I can make a PR if I figure out how to return an image for these custom panos.

Research direction

Start by inspecting getUrl.js and compare how it builds URLs for the supplied custom panoid versus official Google Street View panorama IDs. Use the example panoid and the istreetview.com reference while investigating. Done means the library returns an image for custom panoramas without breaking official panorama support.
