Panoramio's Blog

Today Google Earth updated the Panoramio layer adding around 600,000 new photos. Selected images up to ID 7,980,000 are now in Google Earth. The next update is on April 12th and will include photos reviewed until March 26th.
Yesterday we moved to a new server and the site was not working for a couple of […]

We just released a new header for Panoramio:

Now you can explore the World and find any place in our planet from every page in Panoramio.com. The access to “Your photos”, Places and Tags are more visible with the new design. Also the link to the settings is more accessible.

Today we made some improvements in the search enginge of Panoramio’s homepage and the World Map. Now you can search for:
- Streets in some countries: “Third Avenue, New York“, “Ramblas, Barcelona“.
- Landmarks: “Eiffel Tower“, “Mount Fuji” or “Cape of Good Hope”
- Names in different languages: Saragossa/Zaragoza, Nueva York/New York, Köln/Cologne, Leipzig/Lipsia…

We finally could fix one of the most requested issues in Panoramio; the backlog of reviewed photos. The backlog has been reduced from 1 […]

Do you see anything strange in these homepages?

Yes, Panoramio is mirrored for right to left languages
Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi were available some time ago, but without mirroring they were not really usable, so we decided to pull them back until we could mirror the site. Now it is ready.
It took more time […]

The rest of the languages are updated continously with the contributions of many translators. However sometimes you will see some sentences in English mixed […]

Many people have contributed with new locations to the list of cool places in Panoramio. We have collected more than 200 great locations and last weeks we made some improvements in the Places page, making easier to browse locations randomly. You always can find a link to “Places” in the top of the site.

The idea […]
