Do any of you post images to google maps? I have submitted 220 images to just the conservation area I visit and not all birds.

I never thought about it. I switched to Apple maps a few months back and like it better - more advanced notice of upcoming turn, etc.

I do not give Google Maps my photos for its use because GM does not compensate me for contributing to its profit-making. I reject the business model of Google Maps in this respect. Somehow, GM has gotten around acknowledging copyright law and paying photographers for use of their work product..

Maybe they treat it as "offered in donation". They didn't explicitly ask for images.

They also don't charge you to use their maps.
As for copyright, unless there is something that says otherwise, the person who posts the picture still owns the copyright.
You don't exactly post a lot of pictures here either. Maybe you just don't want folks to see your pictures. That's OK too.

Nope, but I do look at others images to get an idea of what is there.

I don't use Google for anything. Quit using them as a search engine years ago, too.

How much do you pay to use Google maps?
If you pay nothing then Why should they pay you?
Consider it a donation that can help everyone using the service.
If You don’t care about helping improve the product for everyone then that’s fine, just don’t send them any pictures.

That's nice work! :) Good job!
I'm just curious, have you ever read the TOS for 500 pix?
