Has anyone else experienced an OVER count error on their posted photos to Google Maps? I find it hard to believe that some of my photos have been viewed so many times. While flattering to my ego these counted views have to be wrong. I mean, come on already. Toast at the Modesto Cafe, 91,953 views? Doesnt seem right. Over 400,000 for Lucky Bamboo? Are these numbers legit? As much as i like the thought of it all, I hate to take credit for something i didnt earn. If anyone else out there has experienced a similar issue please let me know how i can have it corrected.

Hi @STEVEN_KAHARIK lots of things can contribute to “views” - if someone looked at the place and scrolled photos and your thumbnail was there then it is a view even though they didn’t open your image.
There are some really interesting view counts at times. It can be an indication that someone has embedded the Maps entry or the Maps photo onto a website. This is allowed under the content rules as long as they embed it from Maps.
