Why some blue dots (photos) only show up in very low zoom levels in Google Earth?


The zoom level were photos show up depends on the popularity of the photo. More popular photos are visible in high zoom levels while less popular photos requiere very much zooming. Popularity depends on times viewed, comments received and times added to favorites by other people, among many other factors.

The zoom level where a photo shows up can change in the future because with more and more photos being added to Panoramio we need to push them to lower zoom levels for not overloading the satellite view.
