500,000 photos from Panoramio added to Google Earth
November 9th, 2007 by Eduardo Manchón
After the October update was canceled, yesterday the November one was done and 500,000 photos from Panoramio have been added to Google Earth. Now 2,5 million photos are available in Google Earth. The next update will be around December 10th.
Now from Google Earth you have a directly link to correct misplaced photos and to flag them as inappropriate. We wanted to make easier for people to collaborate so we all can enjoy Panoramio’s photo in Google Earth even more.

I have just lost over 1000 pictures from Google Earth, panoramio user
ID 183521. My photos that were on GE are tagged GE and from listings in the forum I am not the only on that have had numerous pictures lost can you help.
Stephen
Nice pictures and good idea, but the place that you called “Macaquinhos” in “Alto Paraíso de Goiás, Brasil”, is in the wrong place. That place is called “Córrego Macaco” and there’s not such a water fall over there.
Macaquinhos is beautifull place, please, put it in the right place.
Thank you!
Замечательно
/ Well done!
When is the next update?
Congratulations for this big achievement!
Congratulations too for the new functions available to Google Earth users: comments, correct misplaced photos and tag inappropriate photos.
I tried all of them and I strongly suggest that the tagging for inappropriate photo should require a confirmation!
(I have tagged one of my photos !!)
If you click by error you must be able to go back.
Hi Aldo
:)
Pascal, the next update will be around December 10th.
Don’t worry Aldo, flagging for inappropriate content is not automatic, is manually reviewed and we only take action if there is any problem with the photo.
Steve, could you please give some the ID number of some of your photos that were previously in Google Earth and not anymore? Please contact me at questions AT panoramio.com
Wooohooooooo! Almost all of my photos have been added! Thank you!
Eduardo: Thanks. Now I can update the GoogleWatchBlog article

All my entries In GE (about 130) have disappeared, however still visible in Panoramio and marked by the blue logo.
Panoramio-User-ID 213868
Some Photo-ID’s: 1059494, 1708459, 1708468, 2466301, 2466685
It seems I’m not the only one to have this problem.
Werner
I am sorry i made a mistake by by pushing the button submit twice!
grts Tjeert!
Hi,
I’m in the same situation as SteveT.
This upgrade didn’t add picture in GE and I’ve lost pictures that already were in GE.
I’m not sure that 2.5 million pictures still are available in GE if new ones take the place of old ones!
I hope this problem will be solved one day.

Hello,
Many of the photos I have submited have been accepted by Google Earth.Thnaks for that.
Unfortunately some were rejected.The rejected photos are of animals(mainly Nilgiri Tahrs)in their own environement.Would you please accept them.

Congratulations Eduardo and Panoramio Team, with teh new functions at GE.
My last uploaded picture has the ID 4485785.
Though there are some that I don’t understand why they weren’t uploaded or yet reviewed.
Cheers,
Alex
I also lost almost all of my pictures in GE (user 165292). So, what happened really?
W
The same problem here. I couldn’t find any of my photos on GE. Neither those that were already there, nor the ones chosen for uploading.
Cheers, congratulations and good luck!

All my photos (user 462847) disappeared from Google Earth
while they are still marked in panoramio as “accepted”. And it is not only my case as I can see. Could you fix it?
Same experience as SteveT here. Images that have been in GE has vanished, even though they are stilled marked with the Panoramio logo in the Panoramio UI. My username is “stonor”. If this is intended it would be nice to know to policy for kicking existing pictures.
Congratulations on the wonderful opportunity to upload photographs on Google Earth. I would like to make a comment about a photograph I posted recently in Tampico. I posted it as “Güerito” and it is a sunset at the Laguna del Chairel, near the Parque Fray Andrés de Olmos in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The location in Panoramio indicates Tampico as Veracruz, not Tamaulipas. Veracruz and Tamaulipas are neighbor states, both bordering on the Panuco River. Tampico is a river port on the North Shore of the Pánuco River,. in the State of Tamaulipas. The South Shore is in the State of Veracruz.
Thank you in advance for correcting this situation.
You make a great job. Panoramio rocks! Thank you very much.
All my pictures disappeared from GE. Could you please tell my why
It’s just wonderful to discover the world by looking at al these pictures..
Come se mine from Denmark. ciau Per B.
Hi,
Why all my pctures, indicated with the icon are removed from GE?
Toni
Hi Edouardo,
As related in the forum, many pictures disapeared during the last update. Could we please have some informations about the “mystery of the GE lost pictures”, when you will get some news from GE.
Thanks,
Thenenan
Congratulations to Panoramio Team on new uploaded pictures, but one short question also. I noticed that some of my pictures, which was placed on GE before, missing. Is that possible that someone deleted my pictures from GE. I mean, that is very discourage and I am lossing my interested in placing pictures on GE if someone can delete them.
For exemple ID’s of deleted pictures are 2831718 and 2831611.
I hope that is just exident situation and will not be usual issue.
Best regards,
Eldin
all of my photos got knocked off. They were in the low 2.3 million.
Non riesco a capire perchè le mie foto non sono state caricate su google earth dato che le ho messe i primi di ottobre e ancora sto aspettando…
Your site is wonderful. Now, may I offer a heads-up? There is a typo here. Can you find it?
‘After the October update was canceled, yesterday the November one was done and 500,000 photos from Panoramio have been added to Google Earth. Now 2,5 million photos are available in Google Earth. The next update will be around December 10th.
Now from Google Earth you have a directly link to correct misplaced photos and to flag them as inappropriate. We wanted to make easier for people to collaborate so we all can enjoy Panoramio’s photo in Google Earth even more.’
Lots of luck and thank you!

I would like to see these pics on GE soon enough. Thanks for good job u guys are doing by coloring the world with beautiful pics. Its a gr8 idea.
We finally know why some of the photos (blue dots) disappeared from Google Earth. It looks like it went over some sort of file-size limit that we weren’t aware of. Unfortunately, the system didn’t report any error and just ignored any lines after the size limit
The team already found a work-around and all photos will be back in the next update on December 10th. Sorry, but it can’t be earlier. However there are some alternatives to enjoy the photos right now:
Every day hundreds of thousands of people visit Panoramio’s map and open the KML file of Panoramio in Google Earth, so despite your photos are not in Google Earth at the moment, they will be watched by many people.
Cephas: now all your photos are reviewed.
And what about the translation of this User Interface (inside Google Earth)?
I cannot see anymore all my photos uploaded in Google Earth. What is the reason? Please, can you fix it? Because I just want to upload more. Thank you!
Has the DECEMBER update been cancelled?? Now in HELP i can see that next update will be around JANUARY 15th !!!
I’m wondering what structural changes are being planned to address the accelerating rate of photo contributions. Right now, the backlog is over one million photos. There is no reasonable way that Panoramio staff can review each photo for appropriateness and hope to keep up. The canceled updates are proof that Panoramio staff cannot cope with its own popularity and the current rate of contribution, and yet the future will be even bigger. What can be done to massively disperse the task of determining appropriateness?
What a brilliant concept.Giving the world the opportunity to share Photos of special places,and a forum for interesting chat,comments,advice and relevant information. I am already contacting photographers across mother Earth.Thankyou
I agree with David Herbergs comments.It will be practically impossible to cater for the massive interest and countless millions of photos that are going to be submitted.Some how,a method of controlling or rationing the vast collection will have to be adopted.Sooner, rather than later a method of random dumping can be the only fair way to give evey one a fair chance to have their photo on Google Earth, in other words,A lottery.

Huge to you thanks for воплощённую good idea, I wish you to improve it, considering offers of users, success to you in yours not easy business. Good fellows!!!
Ooops! I also, by mistake, reported a photo (of my own ! ID: 5425887) “Inappropriate”. As others have suggested, I also think it would be a good idear to have a “confirm-window” before you actually sends the report.
Thank you for your work with this great site !
