Picasa

For some years now I have been adding photos to Google maps as a way of tracing the route taken.  But from time to time the photos would stop displaying. I had been using the URL from Google Photos but these URLs can expire.  I believe these URLs are more like records in a database that can be searched and reorganised as required. In my database days the data is regularly unloaded and reloaded for efficiency.  However using Picasa Web Albums to view the same photos, this system uses a URL that references the photo with its filename. So far the URL has remained persistent. So I have just updated around a hundred URLs on all the grandparent photos I have been able to geographically place. I may have to go back to all my other maps and do the same thing using Picasa.
