Any idea why I can't add a Panoramio image link to my Google Places page?

[strong1]

Hey guys & gals!

Last week, I watched one of the Pro Webinars on here related to Google Places.  Since then, I have begun to help one of my friends with his GP page to get my feet wet.

One of the tips from the webinar was to geotag images in Panoramio to use for your images on the Places page.  However, when I try to do this, I just get an error that says they can't upload it at this time.

I tried searching online for answers, but the G support pages that I have found where someone asks the same question, there is no resolution.

Can anyone help?

PS - I would prefer not to post publicly the business name, URL, etc.  So, if that info is needed, I can PM.

Thanks a lot!

Did you tried some other images to add same time. If you did and got same error then it is not issue with Panoramio but if others get added and only panoramio has problem then probably it is quite possible that Google is not accepting images from Panoramio as Panoramio is getting better popularity than Picasa.

Thanks for your reply.  I can attach images from my desktop, but not via URL.  I just tried using a URL of an image on the website itself, and it still won't do it.

Panoramio is owned by Google though, so Google definitely doesn't have a problem w/ them

Same webinar, same Issue over here !

How did you get around this problem ? Picasa ? Flickr ? Straight from your computer ? I guess straight from my computer will do for now...It seems like a quick and easy fix, but not optimized...!
