## What is Garden Gnome Package Viewer?

Use the Garden Gnome Package Viewer to view outputs from Pano2VR and Object2VR using the package format (.ggpkg). 

The Package Viewer supports all skin features including pop-ups, projection changes, and videos.

To transfer a package from the computer to the iOS device, you can use AirDrop or any cloud drive.

To add a package using iCloud Drive, tap Add Package and navigate to the package file (.ggpkg ) on iCloud Drive. 

When using AirDrop, the package will open automatically with the Package Viewer.

To add a package using other cloud services, use the “Export… “ or “Open with...” option.

Once the package is added, you can edit the package’s name and delete it by tapping on the 3 vertical dots or long pressing on the preview image to open an edit sheet.

Tap on the cog icon in the upper right corner to open the app’s settings:

* Change the grid size.
* Keep the device awake.
* Choose to ignore the safe area at the top and bottom of the phone so that the image fills the entire screen. Note that any skin elements in these areas may get obscured or not function properly.
* Hide the close button. The close button will bring you back to the main screen. When it is hidden, you’ll need to shake the device to return to the main screen.

The app comes with a few pre-loaded examples. You can remove these as you wish. Also note, that they are simply linked to online projects, so they will need internet access to work.

### 5/5 — Absolut cool

*2025-07-13, version 1.4.0*

Absolut cool, thanks for this Tool

### 5/5 — Bug report

*2024-12-13*

"VR" button not works after updating to iOS18

### 2/5 — Gut in der Funktionalität, aber Dateilimit zu niedrig und noch nicht gleichwertig zur D-Version

*2024-09-06, version 1.2.0*

Dateilimit bitte auf 10 GB anheben, da sich meine momentan 6 GB und größer Dateien auf dem iPhone 14 pro erst gar nicht öffnen. Beim iPad mit 360er alles ok, aber bei verknüpften Bildern hängt es sich nach dem Zoomen auf und ist nicht mehr benutzbar. Verknüpfte Videos laufen sehr gut, Websites jedoch nicht. Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn die Probleme behoben werden könnten. Vielen Dank trotzdem für die App.

### 5/5 — So awesome!

*2024-02-12*

I use this everyday when I’m “pounding the pavement” looking for new business. 

Using my IPad, I have 42 of my best tours ready to “show” with an internet connection or not. And having this allows me to close the deal every time!

I Highly recommend this app and Pano2VR in general!

### 5/5 — Отлично разработчикам

*2023-04-25, version 1.1.0*

Превосходный «вьювер»: ничего лишнего, - все необходимо в самих упакованных файлах для просмотра. Совместно pano2VR - незаменимый просмотрщик. И на iPhone и на ipad4 работает четко! Благодарность разработчикам.

### 1/5 — Перестал открывать ggokg файл

*2021-12-21, version 1.1.0*

После последнего обновления перестал открывать ggpkg панорамы(туры) на iphone. Windows версия работает. Очень жаль. Огромная просьба к разработчикам поправить приложение!

### 5/5 — Long waited app for iOS!

*2021-04-22*

Wow, congratulations on the iOS app, it's a great news for everyone who wanted to view or present their tours offline on iOS!

### 5/5 — iPad Pro

*2021-04-12*

Just downloaded the app, pulled in one my tours from iCloud and had it up and running straight off the bat. This is going to be a very useful tool to show off a portable portfolio to clients.
