What happened to the pictures on google earth?

AI Thread Summary
The recent updates to Google Earth have led to the disappearance of user-uploaded photos from Panoramio, which were previously accessible through various layers. Users have reported that while they can enable different layers, they are unable to view these images in version 4.7. However, it was noted that the feature still works in version 4.3. Users are exploring the Street View functionality, expressing a desire for easier navigation between images without needing to exit the current view. There are also frustrations regarding the transition from a top-down view to an oblique perspective when zooming in. Some users have discovered that clicking on screen arrows allows for movement within Street View, although initial attempts at navigation were met with difficulty until double-clicking was found to be effective.

Ever since I updated the last edition of google Earth (which must have been a while ago now that I think of it) all those nice pictures that people have taken of places and put on panoramio that tag a location on the maps in google Earth aren't there anymore.

I turn on all the different layers and all I get is a bunch of junk info but no pictures!
anyone know where this feature went?? I'm using v4.7

that was my favourite feature of google Earth that you could go to a place and look at people's photos of it!

I'm exploring the 'Street View' images of Google earth, is there a way to go to the next picture when inside the street view? Right now I need to exit the photo before I can click the next view :frown: It's a pretty cool feature though, now I can visit some old places in the US :smile: (Amsterdam street views might become available soon)
 
Talking about problems with google earth, is there any way to prevent the aggravating transition from looking down to oblique when zooming in? Most annoying.

The arrows should be on the screen and you just click on them. So, technically you're walking around the city.

Just clicking didn't work, I tried every key-click combination, which also didn't yield any result, then I tried double-clicking and that did the trick (so it's actually working now).
