Photos on Google Maps Appear as "Unknown Place"

@tony_b if photos and reviews don’t appear again within a couple of days, very likely the listing was not re-instated, but somebody created it again at the same place with the same information. Not a good idea to do, unless the owner changed and wanted to get rid of old reviews.

Too bad, for the lost views of you photos, but I’d take it as a new chance, if the photos still correctly reflect the site.

Yet another story on this to increase the mystery:

Since I track and identify all my hidden photos, two days ago I was surprised, the number of hidden photos decreased by 4, i.e. four photos which previously became hidden because “Unknown Place” are now public again. They are still not linked to any listing and the title says “Unnamed”, but I can share the links with others: Google Maps , Google Maps , Google Maps and Google Maps .

Those links are taking me to your whole profile @WilfriedB

The individual photos or POI are not showing up.

Strange. When I open in anonymous session on the desktop, I see:


But I didn’t try that on the mobile. Sometimes, the links are not compatible.

Okay. That explains it. The links are working for me now on my laptop.
