Two 2-gigapixel panoramas were created. Each one was made up of 200 photos stitched together taken over a 20 minute span. With GigaTag, users can explore and zoom into incredible detail, find themselves and their friends, then tag and share on Facebook. The Whitecaps are the very first-ever Canadian entity to use GigaTag.
