That's the linear distance from your eyes to the horizon. Assuming you're walking, the actual distance would be more like R*inverse cosine of (R/(R+h)) - working in radians of course.

But seeing as the surface is probably not a perfectly smooth arc, the first formula is probably a decent approximation.

im going to have to disagree with the title of that article. I think these people know EXACTLY how to use that panorama feature just fine :D

The alternate dimension one looked intentional to me, at the very least.
