Panoramio Photos Appearing then Disappearing on Google Earth

[Alan Fogelquist]

I have noticed that a number of photos that were appearing on Google Earth earlier this morning are no longer appearing there. In the past I have noticed that when you browse locations on Google Earth the selection of Panoramio photos that appears changes. Sometimes its' one photo. Sometimes its another. I have noticed this both for some of my own photos and those of other authors. Today the photos that are appearing and disappearing seem to be recent ones, but this also seems to happen with photos that have been on Google Earth for several years.

One batch of photos that I took of the West Los Angeles area first appeared on Google Earth yesterday and continued to appear earlier today. Now none of them are appearing on Google Earth, no matter how close you zoom. All of the photos in the batch were selected for Google Earth.

Is this because of Google Earth or Panoramio maintenance procedures or is it because the Google Earth / Panoramio system rotates photos based on different criteria.

Why is what appears on Google earth inconsistent with photos appearing, disappearing and reappearing? Is this by design?

[AustinMN]

I have seen this with Google Maps, but not Google Earth. The only "appearing and disappearing" I find on Google Earth has to do with the altitude the photo can be seen. Some photos, when seen from a high altitude, may disapear at a lower altitude, and photos seen at a lower altitude may disappear when one zooms out.

I almost never try the Google Earth view of Google Maps, so I don't know if that layer has an issue.

That's an interesting observation. The photos in question are now appearing on Google Maps but are not showing on Google Earth no matter what zoom level you use. They were all showing on Google Earth yesterday and earlier today at various zoom levels. I wonder if this has something to do with system maintenance.

[Draken]

Too soon to know.

Could you provide a couple of examples?

Thanks

Here are some links to photos that were appearing on Google Earth yesterday and earlier today, but seem to have disappeared from Google EArth. They are still appearing on Google Maps.

http://www.panoramio.com/photo/40539134
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/40536928

The Panoramio stats for each of these photos show that they have all been viewed on Google Earth. For the last several hours, I have been unable to see them or any of the other recent West LA photos that I took on Google Earth. They were all there earlier.

Thanks for any insight on why this happens. I have also seen similar appearances and disappearances and reappearance of some photos in the past, both mine and those of other people at locations I visit regularly on Google Earth.

Another day has gone by and none of the photos in this group has reappeared on Google Earth. They were all appearing a day or two ago.

[Hans Sterkendries]

Are you sure they were actually on Google Earth and not only being displayed because you clicked "Your Pictures [..] in Google Earth (KML)"?

Because when you click that link they only appear to be on GE...

The photos were clearly appearing on Google Earth, marked by small squares. I did not download the klm file for my photos to view them. The same photos are appearing as small squares on Google Maps but have disappeared from Google Earth.

By small squares I mean the tiny square-shaped bluish markers used on Google Earth to show that there is a Panoramio photograph. A couple of days ago all of the recent photos of West Los Angeles that had been approved for presentation on Google Earth were visible there.

I suspect some maintenance is going on or some change has been made on the system for the most recently approved photos that have been uploaded. Photos that were visible a few days ago are no longer visible.

[mongwin]

My photos too !! Photos that were visible a few days ago are no longer visible.
I hope that they will appear again soon.

[AustinMN]

<speculation mode = on>

I wonder if there were a couple loads where the daily load, instead of adding to the previous day's daily load, ended up replacing it, essentially removing recently loaded images from GE.

It's great to have some feedback from someone with a similar experience. I didn't really think this could be something affecting only my own recent uploads.

Along with some of the latest commentators, I think it has something to do with the latest batch of uploads to Google Earth and some corrections that were made that caused recent uploads to disappear from view.

I wonder if anything from Google Earth tech staff will appear on one of the blogs that will clarify these recent developments.

[mongwin]

Today, My photos have already come back to Google Earth. Very happy.
How about your photo, Mr. Alan Fogelquist. Hope they are back too.

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

Alan and others...
There must be some problem with sync of photos to GE.
I have different problem - some of my photos are in GE twice (although I uploded them only once...)!

Example:
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/40062478

I will report issue directly to admins.

[Alan Fogelquist]

Quote Tomas K☼h☼ut:

Thanks for all the replies. I just connected to Google Earth and notice that my photos are back. They probably did some kind of corrections.

It's strange as Tomas reports that some photos are appearing twice.

I guess the uploading procedures are not perfect. I have begun using Picasa to upload new photos to Panoramio. It seems to stall less and there is less danger of uploading photos twice.

Earlier in September I uploaded two groups of photos on two separate days. They all appeared on Google Earth (quicker than usual), but when I looked today one batch is no longer on GE. They are still on Google Maps. Strange. Some examples...

No longer visible:

I can add my three most recent uploads to the list of photos that have been on GE a couple of days ago but are no longer there:

41254220
40931031

Hopefully there is some fix for this problem.

Well, now I have at least one photo disappearing from GE. It has GE stats for 30 days, and a count as of two days ago, and now...gone! Please advise. Thanks!

I know Galatas pretty well and I don't think he is having a bad day. He is one of the most considerate, helpful and balanced users in this forum.

He is simply expressing his concern about an issue that I also think is of the utmost importance (photos disappearing from GE).

I also wish we can have a prompt solution for this issue.

[Galatas ©]

Quote Tomas K☼h☼ut:

Galatas:

I would just like the team to spend its' time fixing the many ongoing problems that Panoramio has instead of producing useless statistics.
What practical use are they ?
How is knowing these statistics going to affect the way you use Panoramio or your photography ?
Say your photo of a red flower got more views than your photo of a yellow one. Are you only going to take photos of red flowers from now on ?
Or you had more views on Panoramio than Google Earth. Are you not going to map your photos in future ?

At best they are just an ego boosting gimmick that will quickly fade.

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

Galatas, you are right. Statistics is only statistics.
But as you can see in forum, people like it and are interested in this.

I also wish some long term bugs to be corrected (e.g. errors in reading GPS location from EXIF of uploaded photos - for me basic function of site based on geo-tagged photos).

So sorry for a bit pin-prick remark, you sound to be depressed, so I wanna give you "head up".

[mongwin]

My photos (GE-visible) ranging from ID 40.720.646 --> 41.096.421, Uploaded since Sep 13 --> Sep 22 are all GE-invisible now !

Lady and Gentleman, Please check your photos. I think that Panoramio team are working to bring these photos back to GE again soon

Waiting for blue squares !

[mongwin]

More information.

I have checked "the new statistics system" and found that GE-visible photos (in case of mine : ID 40.720.646 --> 41.096.421) disappeared since 28 Sep. (because "GE view count" fall to zero on that day)

[BritPlom]

This problem of fotos appearing then disapearing on GE is there since a long time, but was exacerbated these late days. I am glad that we have a proff now, through the satistics!

[heloise121]

I joined Panoramio very recently, and was so excited to see my photos on GE and Maps.. and no, i did not have to download the temp preview file to be able to see them.. they were there for real.
ALL of my photos have now gone from GE (at all altitudes) after a suspicious spike in popularity, and most of the Maps ones are gone.
I cant find any announcements from the team as to whether this is temporary.. have i missed something?

On page 2 of this thread is answer of Gerard Sanz (Panoramio project manager).
As far as I know, problems with GE selecte photos disappearing or not appearing in GE was there before... and finally they were repaired. Let's hope for same now.

It seems quite a number of photos, that were uploaded in September, have disappeared from GE.

[ckmcdonald]

It appears there have been enough replies to this thread/problem to enable the GE team to work on the problem. In case this is not true, I too have lost a set of recently posted pictures. They appear fine in Panoramio, they appear in GM but they have been removed from GE.

[mongwin]

My conclusion,

Photos (GE-visible) ranging from ID 40.720.646 --> 41.096.421, Uploaded since Sep 13 --> Sep 22 are all temporarily GE-invisible now !

This is not the first time. Last time (Sep 19-21) my photos disappeared, they came back again within 2-3 days with the new DigitalGlobe satellite image.

I hope that when the photos come back to Google Earth again, there will be something better!

I think that GE Team are work on updating the satellite image. And this work has an effect on visibility of recently uploaded Panoramio photo.

Waiting for the blue square !

[Alan Fogelquist]

My West Los Angeles photos that had been on appeared on Google Earth, disappeared, then reappeared for about three weeks have now disappeared again!

They still appear on Panoramio.com and probably on Google maps, but have once again disappeared from Google Earth.

Here is a url for one of the photos that has disappeared once again from Google Earth.

http://www.panoramio.com/photo/40539424

When browsing Google Earth around West Los Angeles one sees only older photos.

[R Southwell]

I had three photos accepted for GE IDs 40768602 40871158 and 40946162 they appeared as small blue squares and opened when I clicked them. But they have disappeared, is it possible to have them reinstated.

Thanks,

Hi Alan, I have had a look at your photos... I love your skies! It looks as though none of us can count on our photos being consistantly in GE or Maps for the present time while "improvements" are being made, but i do not see any promises from the team that our photos will be reinstated permanently at some point in the future.
As a new but passionate small fish in the Panoramio pond, losing my photos upsets me greatly, so i can only imagine how disappointed you feel with all the emotion and time that you have put into this Alan.

[z.cochrane]

... probably they withdrew the latest GE bulk push. I think something had once more gone wrong with popularity / altitudes. My latest uploads had already made it to GE but some pics were, from the beginning, visible from ridiculously high altitudes, some at about 100 km height, and this in a heavily crowded area (Cologne cathedral), with two pano clicks and an "age" of less than a week ... that couldn't be correct. Patience, nothing to worry about imho.

Thomas

[Alan Fogelquist]

Thanks for all the latest ideas on what's going on with the appearance, disappearance, and reappearance of photos.

This is just a speculation. I wonder if this has anything to do with the new timeline feature that appears in the latest version of Google Earth.

A few days ago I installed the latest version of Google Earth. It works great with Panoramio, allowing you to browse Panoramio photos directly inside of Google Earth.

I noticed that the latest version has a new timeline feature. I wonder if some of the latest problems are related to perfecting the timeline which is supposed to allow you to get eath views backwards in time.

[Marcin Roguski]

Looks like there are also batches of accepted photos that aren't making it to GE or GM as well.

It is not advisable to delete and re-upload. You would lose visits and comments giving extra work to reviewers.

I think this is a problem with uploads from September, related to changes being made in Google Earth, the latest browser upgrade, and the integration of panoramio into the Google Earth browser. The photos will reappear and I believe it is best not to delete any or re-upload them. This is a problem that is likely to be corrected very soon.

Remember that photos that have been on Panoramio and Google Earth for a longer period of time tend to be viewed sooner and more easily than recent uploads. Everyone's September uploads are likely to reappear soon.

[ckmcdonald]

OK, probably beating a dead horse here but I just noticed that my most recent photo-set (uploaded Sept 26), which I thought was in waiting to appear for the first time on GE, possibly did appear and then were also removed like the set I reported earlier. I conclude this because I note that they are appearing on GM. I suppose it's possible they never did appear in GE and they are on GM because they get posted there earlier - not sure.

I've read your info about Google Maps and I'm very happy to see that most of my photos (including the latest one which was selected for Google Earth, just uploaded 2 days ago!) are now appearing in Google Maps. However, they are still disappearing in Google Earth.

The photos in Google Maps encourage me for waiting for the blue square in Google Earth !

To me it seems that there there must be something wrong with the altitude algoritm.

[mikstan43]

Gyuri,

I do not know if my problem is related to this thread but here goes.

I have a number of accepted photos which appear on GE with the blue icon but the related KML thumbnails do not appear.
Examples are : 40430657 and 40430668.
Another photo taken at around the same time and position appears both as KML and blue icon on GE - 40430675

Like wise 40429557 and 40429555 - blue GE icon but no thumbnail .

The appropriate boxes on the left of GE are checked and other thumbnails appear around the ones mentioned.

If I find more,should I comment them here ?

I am not overly concerned about this situation - just making a report of a minor bug .

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

MikeS
There is one limitation (since last year's upgrade): KML file cannot display more photos that are exactly on one place. In this case only one of the photos is there. Is not it your case?

[mikstan43]

Tomas

Thank you. I must have missed that in the forum - I am sure it must have arisen before.
Two photos have exactly the same co-ordinates and the other two are different by only .03 secs.

I will re-map the position of one of each pair by a few metres and see if this solves the problem

I notice that Google Earth Team now are working to correct some errors again. Because the latest photo appearing on Google Earth is ID 41725882. Google Earth Team put this photo on GE on Wednesday 6 Oct.
After that there was no any update until now.
And some photos (ID < 41725882) disappear from time to time (Especially, the photo that extremely close to another photo).
As DL1LAM said, Photo ID > 41725882 are not yet in GE.

Hi, Dardani.

It seems that Google Earth and Panoramio Team have already fixed the problems.
>From 12 Oct, 00.01 AM, Your photos are appearing in Google Earth again !

I hope that everybody's photos are also appearing now.
(Some photos with very close together may not appear. In this case, please try to clear memory and disk cache. They will appear.)

Many thanks to Panoramio and Google Earth Team for your hard work.

Regards, Mongwin.

Hi, Dardani,
Sorry for my misunderstanding. ops:
I've checked in Panoramio map. Your photos (for example Soravia Center ) are disappearing now.
And some of my photos in Panoramio map are disappearing too.

Hope they will back again soon.

Regards, mongwin

That's interesting! Looks like Panoramio started acting weird as well. In showing photos thru user-xxxxx.kml file, some photos only start showing at eye alt. of like 8000 feet, some disappear below that level (but reappear when going back higher). Weirdest thing is, the most recent three of mine aren't shown at all.

Photos ID > 41175000 (uploaded on 23 Sep) are disappearing on GE now (05.20 AM, 14 Oct).

[Raki_Man]

All the photos I uploaded at the weekend were visible in Google Earth yesterday.
Today there have all gone eg 41904396, 41904400.

They are visible in the kml view under my user ID but not as Google Earth 'little squares' ops:

[dardani.m]

My photos are still disappeared and still I am waiting for my photo dear panoramio.

Be patient
No one of your photos is lost. The team is knowing this problem and working on it.
The same bug is on my side, so we will have a cup of tea or others.

All of mine between 40984320 and 40634271 (22 in total) have disappeared, again. If it's not user-related, it would mean that tens of thousands might have disappeared globally(!)
