Uploading Geotag Photos directly to Google Earth

How do you upload the Geotagged photos in the iPhone to Google earth and then see them automatically located on GE depending on LAT - Long?

Thx

You're welcome.

It's Google's app, so I suspect it should work pretty good.

If anyone is interested, I have tried to use the Panoramio app on the iphone and it would appear pretty useless..... it does upload the photo Ok but does NOT attached the important Geo location information, so you are unable to use the automatic mapping facilities on Google Earth.

That's interesting. Have you contacted them regarding this? From the app's description:

If the geolocation is available, the photo will be automatically mapped.

Only through their Forum pages and they seem to know about the problem, te only other way is through an email contact, which i have done ....so just waiting now for a response...But it seems very odd that a Google ap on one device does nto present the information to a Google app in the www.

Is this s sign that the relationship really is that bad, as it appears that the iPhone platform has been singled out for this special treatment.

Thx

John
