Google Map Picture

I tried to add an image to the Google location map. Not only did it not work, but now I can't see any pins for anyone. Help.

Satellite Image

Mine is the one with the red car in the driveway and the trampoline in the back yard. This sat pic was from when the previous owners lived here.

Edit: I took the url out for the pic, so I can see all the pins but can't get the sat image in.

I can see the pins, but I know if someone use certain symbols like " or & the pins won't be visible to anyone. That's something I've been keeping an eye on.

As for your picture, you need to host it somewhere. Try uploading it to our photo gallery under "family", then paste the URL into the google image box. That should work.

I haven't figured out how to save it as a picture yet from the link above

If you're referring to your house, just press the "Print Screen" button. Then open whatever photo editing program you use and paste it into it. From there you can crop out everything you don't need and save it as a ".jpg". At that point you can upload it into our photo gallery...piece of cake!
