Julian,
The page that's in the wiki (http://wiki.panotools.org/?title=Geo-
referencing_panoramas_with_Google_Map) seems to describe how to get a
full custom map with lots of markers on it. I think you're looking
for something simpler.
If you know the longitude,latitude of your pano, then you can just
insert a link like this, anywhere on your web page:
http://maps.google.com/maps?
q=46.254166666667+N+119.28583333333+W&t=k&hl=en&ll=46.254166666667,-
119.28583333333&spn=0.05,0.05&t=k
The spn parameters are the scale of the map. Make them smaller to
zoom in closer.
This seems to be the technique that the World Wide Panorama is
using. The example above comes from their "Show at Google Maps" link
for my Chamna Natural Preserve pano at
http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp1204/html/RikLittlefield.html
Hope this is more like what you want.
