360° camera tips?

[Vlyn]

I hope it's okay to create a new thread for this:

How do you use your 360° camera for front / side / parallel parking? It's unfortunate that the MG4 Luxury doesn't have any front parking sensors that beep at you. The 360° camera is really useful, though it seems difficult to spot obstacles sometimes (or how close you actually get to something) as things do look weird when you get closer.

Do you have any tips and tricks on how to use it? E.g. taking a right turn into a parking space with a curb on the right that you have to avoid. Or how you gauge the distance to the front with the fish lens camera. Other cars you park next to mostly appear as giant wheels in the 360° view

Probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it’s better to reverse into a space. That way you’ll have parking distance sensors as well as a much safer exit from said space too - double benefit.

I already prefer reversing into spaces (My last car only had a camera in the back, no sensors)

But I'm mostly asking for the situations where reversing isn't possible or inconvenient.

The cameras are terrible to be fair. Why they have to present the picture as a bugeye is anyone's guess. I find it much easier to use the cameras with the marker lines off, as they are simply far to fat and get in the way of the tiny picture.
