... and replaced by the photolayer of Google Maps.

But most amazingly: The Panoramio Forum is still active, Google may have forgotten about it.

That's just awful to have lost so many of your photographs! :(

...didn't you download all your stuff with Panoramio takeout? I downloaded everything (despite the fact, that all is on my harddisks anyway) and deleted my photos back in 2016

GE war besonders praktisch durch das Fototagging. Deshalb habe ich GE gern für die Reiseplanung benutzt.
Der neue Fotolayer (Google Maps) ist eine einzige Katastophe! Viel weniger Bilder. Hinter jedem Bild-Thumbnail ist nur ein! Foto. In vielen Bereichen liegen gar keine Fotos. Viele Fotos sind völlig deplaziert, z.B. Badestrand in der Großstadt, Kirchturm im See usw. Häufig fehlen Titel, so dass man nicht weiß,was das Foto darstellt oder die Titel sind kommerzieller Natur, etwa Schloß Neuschwanstein mit Titel "Ferienwohnung xyz".
Den Fotolayer habe ich jetzt abgeschaltet.
Bei Güügle geht es nur noch um Kommerz.
Und ich hab' sooooon Hals!

I didn't download my stuff, but I always put my photo content on an external hard drive as well as in the cloud. So my comment about my 8000 photos being in the ether was an exaggeration (and I'm sorry if that alarmed you) - and so I'm OK but it's the principal of Google promising something and then breaking that promise which is the thing here!
