Is it me or has something changed? I used to like scanning Google Maps, discovering somewhere new and having a look at the photo's. I've had a look today and everywhere I click on just has one photo and no obvious option to see others. Have I advertently changed a setting?ย

Probably step 1 in making full access a subscription service...

Still working OK for me. Do you have a link to the area you're looking at?

Working for me on the desktop version. Click on the place marker and you get the usual info box to the left of the window. Point at the main picture and pop-up button called See photos appears.ย

Same here, but clicking on it only brings up the same photo, no others.

Same for me, it keeps telling me to log into my google account to get access. I have no idea if I have a google account or ever did but thats what it seems to want.

Only seems to have happened in the last few days

I've logged into a gmail address I (forgot) have and now I'm getting all the pics like I was a week or 2 ago.

Maybe there is only one photo?

I've just tried it and there's lots of photos to peruse.

No. I tested that. I (reluctantly) got a Google account and now can access all photos again.
