Do I still own copyright of my images on Google Maps?

No, Google did not inform me @OkanS. I recognised the image as being mine when I saw the article online, so it was just a coincidence (the publication in question later paid me for use of the image).

It would be good if there was a Google Alerts-like system that discovers if your images are used elsewhere, but I highly doubt such a thing will ever become available.

You can always use a reverse image search to see if your image has popped up anywhere else on the web. 

Use: www.tineye.com 

Good Luck!

I just had the same thing happen. Trying to contact the company that used my pic. They gave credit to Google Map but not me. Now when you search images of the business the company is given credit and a copyright statement is there for them?

Hi , one of my images of a shop was used without my permission  ,in a meme page which i follow, So can i do something about it ?

For example, if I upload my image to Google Maps, would I still be allowed to print that photo and sell it to a friend in a picture frame?
