Upload photos to Panoramio straight from your iPhone!

October 20th, 2009 by Fernando Delgado

Tens of millions of mobile users own a device with a good camera and GPS. We realize that a lot of these users may want to share photos of places with the rest of the world via Google Maps and Google Earth.

Today, we’re taking a first step toward making that possible, which is why I’m happy to announce our new iPhone app. You can download it now from the App Store. Our team is working hard on an app for Android-powered devices, so stay tuned for that!

The philosophy behind the app is to keep it simple: sign in (only the first time), pick a photo from your device or take a new photo, and upload it straight to Panoramio. If available, the geoposition will be automatically set, and you can optionally add a title to the photo.

This is the first time Panoramio is releasing a mobile app, so we want to hear your comments. Please send feedback, feature requests and bugs to iphone@panoramio.com.

    Excellent app, I have always had amazing photos to upload taken from different amazing parts of the world only to be stopped by the complexity of the old procedure. Well done.

    Genial trabajo !, ya lo estabamos esperando, a ver como afecta a la subida de fotos, seguro que los usuarios tendran mucha más facilidad para geoposicionar las fotos… más fácil imposible.

    Good job!

    I think this is a sad thing for Panoramio. I have never seen any camera - even the best DSLR - that had a screen that was adequate to evaluate the photos for upload. Now here is a mechanism for uploading from an inferior camera with no way to evaluate the worth of the image before doing so. So sad.

    I take thousands of photos on a two-week trip, then spend days editing them to ensure only the best are put forwards for Panoramio and hence google earth. I crop, level, sharpen, stitch and adjust until I am happy. What a waste of time.

    I am not so sure this is a good development. The team could be literally flooded with low quality photographs, and the review process could be dramatically slowed down. In my humble opinion there could have been more useful issues to work on… but anyway let’s wait and see what the brave new world of iphotos will bring to Panoramio.
