08 October 2016, USA :
Panoramio is shutting down all its services from 4th November 2016 as per the official statement. There’s huge disappointment among the people as they feel Google has been negligent. Google acquired Panoramio, the location-centric photo sharing service in 2007.
If you have linked your Panoramio profile with a Google account, all your photos will be copied to the Google Album Archive at full resolution after Panoramio goes away. These copied photos will not use any of your Google storage quota. Your photos that appear in Google Maps will continue to appear in Maps, unless you delete them later from the Maps Contributions panel. But You must link your profile with a Google+ account for your photos to be automatically copied.
In the official statement, the company said, “Although you’ll no longer be able to create new accounts, upload your photos, comment or like other content in Panoramio after November 4, 2016, you’ll still have access to your photos and be able to export your data until November 2017. After that, if your account is linked with a Google account, we’ll copy your photos to the Google Album Archive so you can access them even after the company is retired.”
