Hi @Gonzoid,

 

Please can you provide us with more information about your question? You can share also a screenshot and then we can have a closer look to your question.

 

You can read also this article for your help: Add, remove, or share photos and videos.

 

One last thing, I relabeled your post and it now appears in the How-tos, as it fits better there.

@Gonzoid It's likely that when you find a place that you cannot add a photo, you may find you cannot edit that place as well. If that's the case, you may been looking at a polygon instead of a point. To understand the background around polygons in Maps, you may want to read this post, (read the first post, look at the location, and read the long reply by Flash on the first page).

Flash has outline some way to help resolve this, so do refer to his post.
