While Google Maps is an amazing tool in so many ways, it is definitely lacking when compared to Panoramio’s strengths. At the same time, Google is really mounting a serious effort with their Local Guides program, in which volunteers add to and improve on the place data for Google Maps. They will continue to be shown in Google Maps if they had before. In their stated plans, Panoramio users’ photos will automatically be copied to a user’s Google Album Archive. Now that Panoramio will be shut down, Google has encouraged Panoramio users to move to Google Maps. …from a Geolocated Photography Enthusiast Posted in Gear Leave a comment Wishlist for Google Maps & Local Guides Today, that stove is still tiny, still powerful, still a staff favorite” scene with a number of elegant products, and the tiny, powerful GigaPower Stove became a staff favorite and Editors’ Choice Award winner. “Flashback to 1999: A Japanese company hit the U.S. They do make a $10 windscreen for it also that I got a few years back and it helps with boiling quicker. The design is still a great way to go if you want one. It’s very cool it won the Backpacker Magazine’s 2015 Editor’s Choice Gold Award. I’ve had the Snow Peak GigaPower Auto since our 2005 trip in Sequoia National Park and still love it. Alternatively, Amazon sells cheap stoves (such as Etekcity for $10) that fit the same fuel canisters and do the job, but aren’t as refined and are slightly heavier. Or perhaps they will make a new version or something. I’m not sure why it’s on sale, but maybe it’s due to their LiteMax stove ($60). It really is $50 normally, and I see that’s what it is on Amazon right now. Photo sharing services are no longer used by a select few-for some Internet users, Flickr and Picasa Web Albums are the place to store and organize photos.The Snow Peak GigaPower Auto isobutane canister stove is on a fantastic sale price right now at REI – $25. But what happens if you decide to just pick up and go to another service? Perhaps Flickr's terms of service got on your last nerve, or Picasa's feature set just isn't enough for you. Or, what if you've experienced a catastrophic crash at home and you have lost the locally stored copies of all your photos?īackup lecture aside, there are numerous reasons for you to want to pull your photos down from the cloud. Some services make this task easier than others, but after finding out on Twitter that numerous readers of ours have wanted to get a mass download of their photos stored online, we figured it would be useful to give a brief how-to for Picasa and Flickr, two of the most popular photo sharing services. Thanks to Google's Data Liberation Front, getting a big dump of your photos out of Picasa Web Albums is a laughably easy task. If you use Picasa software on the desktop, just pull down the File menu to Import from Picasa Web Albums, and in the words of Steve Jobs: boom. You can still access those photos through the Web, though, either individually or on a per-album basis. But if you want to download them an album at a time, you'll still need Picasa on the desktop (go to the Download menu from your album and choose Download to Picasa). Flickrįor the six years I have been a member of Flickr, I have been under the impression that paying users (that is, subscribers to Flickr Pro) were able to download all of their own photos from the service in case of an emergency. That is apparently not the case and has never been. Although we would really like for Flickr to offer a more consolidated way to do this, there are still a handful of third-party options that make life easier.What this means for users of Picasa Web Albums Of course, if you're logged into Flicker on the Web, you can always download your photos one by one by clicking on the "All Sizes" button above each photo and downloading the high-res version to your desktop. Per a Google announcement, "We will be creating a new place for you to access your Picasa Web Albums data. That way, you will still be able to view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums, you just won’t be able to create, organize or edit albums (you would now do this in Google Photos)." This "new place" is an Archive created by Google that will allow links to these albums to still work. Google stated, " If you have photos or videos in a Picasa Web Album today, the easiest way to still access, modify and share most of that content is to log in to Google Photos, and all your photos and videos will already be there." Most of your photos and videos will still be available at Google Photos.
