Publish Your Photos on Google Earth
This is from Earthling, my nephew, who works at GoogleEarth, about contributing to the content layer of GE:
“Okay, it’s not technically Google Earth, and we don’t accept pictures that are too personal, but this can be done. I don’t know if you’ve played with the Panoramio layer in Google Earth (it’s on by default), but if you click the little blue and white circles that look like compasses, up pops a photo someone took. Its a lot of fun browsing these, they are by far the most popular layer we have.
How do you upload your photos? Go to www.panoramio.com and make an account and just start uploading. In order for them to eventually display in Google Earth, you need to give them a location. To do this, start uploading a file, then click the Map this Location button, enter a city name, pick the country/state from a list, and it show you a google map of the location. You can navigate in this just like on Google Maps, and when you find the spot where you took your picture, just double click on it.
The upload time takes a long time… so I don’t know how performance will be. Also, we (Google) don’t display photos of just people anymore. They will simply be removed from the feed panoramio sends Google. The layer is not real time, it gets refreshed every month or so.”
My comment: I uploaded a photo to Panoramio and it didn’t take me much time at all, even with my unreliable QualityNet connection. But just as with WordPress, I downsized the pixels in the photo considerably.

Rodolfo, did you read the instructions, above? As the file is uploading, you click on MAP THIS LOCATION, enter the city/state/country name you are uploading for, they will show you a map, you click on the map where you want your photo to show. I did it. Just do it! 🙂
You can upload a photo to Google Earth through Panoramio, by clicking on the blue type in the article, Zohaib. 🙂
