I was excited with edition 1.5.0 to use the new Panorama View 3D display on my holiday trip to Nice (France), because the city is built in mountain area. To prepare my trip for the max, I got hold of the new iPhone 4, so my pictures and movies would look awesome too.

I could switch back to normal 3D view though. That was a bummer, because I bought the Panorama View 3D especially for my holiday trip.
