Google is a company that offers a large number of services to all almost all of them completely free of charge. One of many services related to Google maps is Panoramio, a service that allows users to upload geolocated photographs, photographs that are displayed when users search the company's maps. The Mountain View-based company is sending an email to all those users who have ever collaborated with this service announcing that within a month, the service will no longer be available, so it will no longer be possible to add more photos.
Google acquired this service in 2007 and during these years it has been a very important part of the information that the Google maps service offers us. On November 4, the service will stop working, although the associated photographs will continue to be available in case the users who have posted them on this service want to download them. The closure of this service does not mean that Google stops offering this service that is so useful for many users, since from now on it will be the service Local Guides included in Google Maps, will allow us to share our photographs with the community.
Google has us used to when it closes a service, to facilitate as much as possible the change to the new one that it offers us, as long as it gives us an alternative, so Google will make an automatic copy of all the photographs within the albums file so that we can save them in the team without having to go one by one, although it also offers us the option of being able download all the photographs that we have added in a compressed file in zip format, through the Panoramio configuration options.
