Here is a panorama: [https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=561555171670599&focus=photo](https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=561555171670599&focus=photo)

that when accessed by the API, does not have a computed\_compass\_angle value:

[https://graph.mapillary.com/561555171670599?access\_token=MLY|XYZ|XYZ&fields=computed\_geometry,computed\_compass\_angle](https://graph.mapillary.com/561555171670599?access_token=MLY%7CXYZ%7CXYZ&fields=computed_geometry,computed_compass_angle)

Is a panorama having an angle meant to be optional?

Noticed stuff like this years ago when I was a big geogeussr player. For some reason (albeit on google maps not mapillary) images uploaded by people NOT google sometimes had wrong compass directions from the camera not storing/reading it correctly. This may be the case here, but not sure.

@caglarpmeta could you take a look at this? The displayed compass angle looks correct.
