Comments on: Correction of misplaced photos with suggestions from other people http://www.panoramio.com/blog/correction-of-misplaced-photos-through-suggestions/ Development of Panoramio, a mash-up of Google Maps and geopositioned photos Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:47:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=9.9.9 by: Owen Morgan http://www.panoramio.com/blog/correction-of-misplaced-photos-through-suggestions/#comment-4229 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 02:49:48 +0000 http://www.panoramio.com/blog/correction-of-misplaced-photos-through-suggestions/#comment-4229 Hi One point which has not been mentioned here is that many of Panoramio's users travel. That means we may at times be weeks or even months without access to the Internet. Meanwhile, our photos receive pointless (a couple of meters), erroneous or plain malicious location suggestions and are removed from the public map and possibly also from GE because the photographer is out making more images from the back of beyond for Panoramio and is not able to respond to the "corrections".

May I suggest that the date be given prominence in the displayed and searchable photo data? 2. As a related topic, a category for old (or historical) photos might be of interest, and could become important, for example illustrating changes to the built environnent or the natural environment over time. Some of us must have interesting photographs from family albums going back many dacades. What do you think?

Isn't the intent of photo correlation to an area to highlight the scenery of the spot? I could care less about some photo of "Baxter-May'90 near Ventura, California (United States)". Please remove the clutter by filtering out these "wasted" uploaded photos somhow. It is also quite frustrating to have several very similar photos attached to the same location "from the same person", duh.

Also a lot of suggestions try to move the camera position to the subject position. These I do not agree with. I get about an equal amount of location changes both ways. Anonymous suggestions I don't agree with. Also when photos are moved they don't appear in GE right away ???

(sphinx in Cairo's centre !) That's a way to make advertising a bit aggressive, don't you think ? BTW, that's not correct for people who use, and most of all, for people who work hard to make it better each day. Thanks to them. You can see my comment on http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2632021.

Supposedly Firefox gets this problem with jpeg images coded in CMYK colorspace. At the moment I cannot get any of the Google Earth-linked pctures to open in Firefox (at least any I tried).

Therein, the good idea of your program requires the detailed work to make a READILY APPARENT process to preclude the many subversions of a good idea at play within the diversity of human minds.
