Default G3 Photofield

I am trying to make a photofield for G3 of our field. I took 11 photos in a 360 deg. and stiched them together, using 1600x1200 resolution into a pano. When I inported it into G3 and viewed it it's like I'm in a fish bowl. What am I doing wrong?

Basically G3 is looking for an image at least 8192 x 4096 pixels which contains a 360 degree x 180 degree (Equirectangular) view

After reading all these links I came to the conclusion it is not possible with a standard camera setup. Thank you for the reply.

it is possible, but from those pics, i notice one thing immediatly.

You arent on a tripod. That will make it hard. Get a decent tripod and take the pictures, i did mine with 36 picks. 1 pic every 20 degrees, 1 rotation with the horizon near the top of the frame, and one with the horizon near the bottom. Worked out great!
