Street view panoramas uploaded by users have their own ID in addition to street view panorama ID. When users open panorama in the browser they sees user panorama ID in the URL, but this ID cannot be used to find this panorama by Street View Static API in Android.

Steps to reproduce:

1. There is a link to the User Panorama:

https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5007703,-0.123141,3a,75y,129.77h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAF1QipMoFUNHeE9a457P_Tgt1i2JwC-tY-xx8McSy5yx!2e10

• !2e10 indicates that this is User Panorama ID
• User Panorama ID: AF1QipMoFUNHeE9a457P_Tgt1i2JwC-tY-xx8McSy5yx
• Location: 51.5007703,-0.123141

2. Try to open panorama by obtained id:

public void onStreetViewPanoramaReady(StreetViewPanorama pan) {
  pan.setPosition("AF1QipMoFUNHeE9a457P_Tgt1i2JwC-tY-xx8McSy5yx");
}

3. Panorama is not opened

4. Let's find Street View Panorama ID by the location:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview/metadata?location=51.5007703,-0.123141&key=API_KEY

response:

{
   "copyright" : "© Łukasz Pietuchowski",
   "date" : "2017-03",
   "location" : 
   {
      "lat" : 51.5007703,
      "lng" : -0.123141
   },
   "pano_id" : "CAoSLEFGMVFpcE1vRlVOSGVFOWE0NTdQX1RndDFpMkp3Qy10WS14eDhNY1N5NXl4",
   "status" : "OK"
}

5. Now if we use this pano_id by Street View Static API it opens:

public void onStreetViewPanoramaReady(@NonNull StreetViewPanorama pan) {
  pan.setPosition("CAoSLEFGMVFpcE1vRlVOSGVFOWE0NTdQX1RndDFpMkp3Qy10WS14eDhNY1N5NXl4");
}

Nevertheless, the Street View Panorama ID does not work for Google Maps App:

• User Panorama ID - opened:

https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5007703,-0.123141,3a,75y,129.77h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAF1QipMoFUNHeE9a457P_Tgt1i2JwC-tY-xx8McSy5yx!2e10

• Street View Panorama ID - not opened (!2e0 - Street View Panorama ID indicator):

https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5007703,-0.123141,3a,75y,129.77h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sCAoSLEFGMVFpcE1vRlVOSGVFOWE0NTdQX1RndDFpMkp3Qy10WS14eDhNY1N5NXl4!2e0

In the same time, the URL with the Street View Panorama ID is opened by the browser on PC.
