My idea aim to limit the number of photos uploaded /place to only 5 photos for each user .
Why :
1- we may find places with hundreds of photos can you imagine that the user who is looking for the place will see all these photos ?
Of course not it's needs a lot of time but if we allow every local guide to share his best 5 photos only for the place we may have chance to be seen all .
2- some local guides uploaded so many photos to a place just for getting lg points ( which doesn't matter ) far from the quality we expect to be in Google maps .
Thanks for your time
- some refinements suggested by fellow local guides and I agree with them :
1- number of photos may vary according to the nature of the poi
so photos number can be determined according to the poi category ( some poi need more photos to be covered properly )
2- local guide can upload more than 5 photos but without LG points ( only 25 point for each poi ) So people searching for points will not use photos to gain more points .
3- 360° photos needs more photo upload, may be 10 or 15 per poi to be connected probably.
4- number of photos could be determined according to LG level so the higher level can upload more photos .
5- photos could be uploaded as 5 photos for menu, 5 for indoor and 5 for outdoor , with a total 15 photo per each poi .
6- In another way in street view app. there is an option in the settings allow you to auto detect faces so , what about using the same thing in the maps algorithm to detect personal photos and selfie photos ?
