There is something hidden by a black square at the far end of the vehicle.
What's with the recent surge of upvotes and naïve comments about ad plastered pages that just take content from NASA? Here the picture is really small and the ads block a large percentage of it. edit: That said, NASA doesn't do a very good job with photos itself either: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/multimedia/gallery-ind... edit2: Ah, nevermind, it was a flash problem! The content is certainly valuable!
These panoramas are "hand-made" from NASA's images, not just reposted content.

North, South, East, and West?
and what's your definition of those on another planet that doesn't have a magnetic pole ? Is the "North" the "top" of the rotation - which way is the top ?? (here's a link that shows what a compass would do on the surface of Mars : http://mgs-mager.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications/grl_28_connerney... )
Works exceptionally well on an iPhone (appears to use accelerometer/gyroscope).
Apparently 360Cities uses[1] krpano[2], a HTML5 panorama viewer on iOS devices. I tried a gyroscope example from the krpano page[3] on my GNex but it was rather buggy (jumpy and unreliable panning, only parts of the panorama visible at a time).
It seems that the fragmentation of Android devices/browsers has proven problematic for the 360cities developers. Since the krpano viewer might only work on a fraction of Android devices I can understand dropping the support for interactive viewing completely.

Why is there a black patch on the back of the rover?
Absolutely great stuff. I wonder if images were processed in any way (besides stitching) or is Martian landscape/atmosphere really so bright-yellowish. I found it much easier to use navigation keys instead of click+drag (which web page suggests).
