Over the past several months, I have had problems with some 360 panorama images not publishing successfully while others taken from the same location at the same time do. I see a thumbnail of the unpublished photo in my dashboard but when I click it - it either displays as one of the other successfully uploaded panoramas, a black screen or one of the panoramas that Google’s mobile 360 vehicle has captured - which is really pretty strange!
Also, I have successfully published regular photos to Google Maps or Google My Business (GMB) pages for various businesses that are showing in my dashboard as having thousands of views. But when I visit that company’s GMB page - only 1 or 2 of those photos display! One photo of a pool at a hotel is showing over 24,000 visits in my dashboard but when I visit their GMB page, that photo does not show up under my contributions with the other 2 images I contributed.
I created a video showing my dashboard and the experiences described above and more: https://www.screencast.com/t/wwR8g913eh
Here is a link to my contributions that ARE displaying correctly: https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117817372618818550342/photos/@41.4307411,-82.0044149,13z/data=!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1?hl=en-US
I would appreciate any help on resolving these issues. I have spent HOURS re-uploading the panoramas that just don’t seem to display trying different browsers and using Google Maps and Local Guides to no avail.
BTW, I have not charged any of these businesses for my photos. I contribute them as a Local Guide with the goal that I’ll gain experience taking these kinds of photos and eventually become a “Google Street View Trusted Photographer.”
Thanks,
Mark
