Garmin connect photos

Still doesn't work with Firefox 3.6.8

Doesn't do anything with IE7 ether.
I'll try again tomorrow.

Works for me on that version.

I've been waiting. Yea it works on that version for me also

It still doesn't work for me with FF 3.6.8 or IE 8.0.7600.16385.

Maybe it has something to do with security settings.

I tried it in Internet Explorer 8,MSN Eplorer and Safari and they all work.Make sure to double click on the photo you want to move to storage on right of screen.Then load to gps.

Works for me on Firefox 3.6.8, IE6, IE7 and Maxthon.

Last week this was not working for me. I just checked and now it seems fully functional. Something on this changed recently.

I'm running IE8 on Windows 7.

Doesn't work for me either with FF or IE. Just get a very bland page that has San Fran as the default location and a prompt that says "Google Map loading..." and nothing more happens.

I logged into my account separately to make sure that wasn't the problem and still get nothing.

This is strange as another thread on the subject I posted that I had no problem with using the feature.

I reinstalled the Communicator Plugin v. 2.9.2.0 in FF, got the Test Page telling me everything was properly installed, closed FF, reopened it and now everything is working properly.

Before I had the page displayed as described by rocknicehunter above.

Just for info.Here is the answer to the email I got back in June about the reason for the problem that has now been fixed.

I am writing to you in regards to the difficulties you are experiencing in downloading the photo navigation POIs from the Garmin Connect Photo website. I understand that the Google map does not load, no matter how long you wait, and you are unable to get the POIs you are interested in. I am sorry you are experiencing this difficulty.

I have checked into this since the process is working on our internal network but not outside it and found that there is a security problem that is being addressed which is preventing the Google map from loading. Our engineers are working diligently to resolve this problem and once they have done so, the page will be up and running again.

When I just went back to use it, it was not working anymore. So it just worked once as mentioned above.
Reinstalled the plugin again to no avail.
Don't know what to do...

Do you get pop up that asks yes or no.If you do click no and see what happens? I just tried the site again and it still works.

I get the pop up question in IE but not in FF. The only time the map properly loaded was in FF.

Your help is appreciated.

I didn't get the question in Safari either.It open it right up.

I reinstalled communicator in both FF & IE and get the error exclamation point in both browsers. IE reports "ext" errors for lines 247 & 255.

No pop ups either and I have the blocker turned off in both browsers.

Didn't work for me.

Stumbled across this thread and thought I'd try it on my 1690 using Firefox 3.6.8 on Win 7/64 bit. Works fine.

As a test, I d/l one image and find the jpg plus a gpx file. Are both safe to just delete?

Click on your favorites and go to the picture.You will have option to delete.Connect gps to computer and go to the GPX foler in the Garmin folder.You will see a Panoramio gpx file.Delete it so it doesn't re-load to gps.

What does this feature do? I'm not familiar with it.

XP Pro and IE 8 here (plus Stopzilla and ZoneAlarm)

Would not even load for me, until I turned off the "pop-up Blocker". The page still had errors when loading and would not work as expected.

Not that interested in putting pics on my Garmin, so I'm not going to play around with my settings.

Once you load the photo from the site and it appears in your favorites.You can touch go and you will be directed to that location just like any other favorite.Hopefully the coordinates are correct by the author.There are cameras and program for attaching coordinates to a picture for navigation.

Windows XP and IE 7 (left on for over 15 min)

Still does not work after trying everything. I have 3 PCs, one W7, one Vista and one XP and it does not work on either one. Disabled firewall, used DMZ on my router to no avail.
So I wrote to Garmin to see what going on.

Still works for me click here to see

On the xp go to internet connections,security,trusted sites and then click on sites and add the Garmin connect web site https://connect.garmin.com/photos

Thanks Charlie,

Tried that and it still does not work.

Here is what I found in Garmin Support Q&A:

Question: Why does Garmin Connect Photos give an error when loading the page and not display the map?
Answer:

With today's web sites there are many new technologies available to make the web site useful and entertaining. With each new technological advancement there are also requirements needed to use that feature.

At this time Garmin Connect Photos may give an error when loading the page and the map may not properly display. The reason for this is that Google has certain requirements needed for their maps to load on a particular web page. At this time, the Garmin Connect Photos web page does not meet those requirements. The Garmin Connect web team is aware of this issue and are currently working on a solution.

try this link https://connect.garmin.com/signin?cid=1137264 and if it loads for you guys, try signing in. That might help the problem.

Sure hard to understand why it works for some and not others.I know they have had problems with it.I emailed them a lot about the problem for the last month.At first they kept saying it worked at their stations.I finally got a phone call from them.They used a program to connect to my computer and found the problem was on their end.A security problem they later found.It is still working here.I guess they have a few more problems to work out.

Used the link, signed in and get the 'Where is my stuff' screen. Can't find a link there to the "photos" screen. What am I missing?

Just tried it on my wifes laptop with vista and ie8...no go. Ugh...so weird.

Tried it again, logging in that is, and still no good. I still get the "Loading Google Maps" on an incomplete page that shows it is done loading.

Sigh.

Here is the answer I just got from Garmin:

"Thank you for contacting Garmin International.

I have just double checked on this and find that if you go directly to www.panoramio.com you can upload your pictures the same as in your Garmin connect account. Unfortunately I do not have any information about when the issue will be resolved in Garmin connect."

I was hoping for a more positive answer. I seems it's certainly not one of their priorities... too bad.

Not to your GPS. I logged into my Panoramio account and see absolutely no way to upload from that site TO my GPS.

I agree with you. I checked after I got their answer and I could not find a way to download the pictures to my GPS even when loggin in Panoramio.

The only thing you can do, unless I am missing something, is saved them to your PC by using "Save as". Then how do you transfer them to your PC as Favorites, what Garmin Photo Connect would do??

I hope they fix it soon.

great

When it is working. You double click the pictures you want. They show on the right of your screen. Then you sign in and connect the gps to the computer to load them.

Charlie, I meant that I was unable to download pictures directly to my GPS from the Panoramio website, following the answer I got from Garmin where they told me:

"I have just double checked on this and find that if you go directly to www.panoramio.com you can upload your pictures the same as in your Garmin connect account.".

I do not want to upload pictures, I want to download them to my GPS.

I must say Garmin were not very helpful on that one. They put a function in new GPSs, it's not working and they do not know when it will be repaired.

If you search the threads you'll see this feature has been discussed before. I used to work for me but they must have changed the code on their web page and broke it. My impression is they have no idea what they broke, so that is why they don't have a clue how long it will take to fix.

Garmin/Connect/Photos still not working. Tried IE8, Firefox, different security and trusted site settings...... zilch.

Hope it comes online soon.... really looking forward to tinkering with my nu Nuvi.

My Garmin Connect Photos stop working for a few days after Garmin made some changes for the worst.This morning it appears they fixed the problem and all is working fine again.

The exact same failures here. Nothing's been fixed as far as I can tell.

Following the answer from Garmin on 4 August quoted below, I told them that I wanted to download pictures, not upload them. They sent me another email 2 days ago asking all kinds of details on my PCs, i.e. operating systems, browsers, versions, router info...etc. I really hope they will come up with something and that I will be able to use Garmin Connect Photos. I will post the results.

"I have just double checked on this and find that if you go directly to www.panoramio.com you can upload your pictures the same as in your Garmin connect account. Unfortunately I do not have any information about when the issue will be resolved in Garmin connect."

Still doesn't work for me in 3 browsers.

I tried it again and it works for Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer.Stop working for Safari.

Still working just fine for me in Firefox.

Looks like they got it going again.It is back to working on Safari now.

I just tried it on Safari and unfortunately it does not work for me, nor on Firefox or IE.

I am still waiting for results from Garmin. I did send them my system info as requested.
