How to upload images into Google Earth?
First you have to install Google Earth. You can download the installer here. After installation, you can search for your house if you can locate it :)
To upload your pictures or images, you have to sign up in Panoramio.com. Its FREE so don't worry. You can upload up to 2gigs of pictures (if I'm not mistaken) and any pictures that you want. As an example, this is one of my pictures that I upload on Panoramio.
From here:
1. You can begin upload your images into your account. Maximum size for each image is 5mb
2. After each completed upload, give it a Title and Map your photo in Google Maps. Unmapped photos are not selected for Google Earth!!
3. Dont forget to Save Position.
4. Wait until your image has been reviewed and updated in Google Earth.
5. When will your photos appear in Google Earth as blue dots?
Please check the status below the photo:
a) If your photo has been selected for Google Earth there are three different situations:
* Your photo is already in Google Earth represented as a blue dot. Please, zoom-in until a low level in Google Earth to find it.
* Your photo have been reviewed before May 10th 2009. Then it will be in Google Earth in the next update around May 24th 2009.
* Your photo has been reviewed after May 10th 2009. Then it will be in Google Earth around 1 month after the next update May 24th 2009.
Dates of updates are orientative and often subject to changes. Average delay is some days, but it can be delayed up to a month.
--> so it will take about one month until it has been reviewed and updated on Google Earth. (from my experience)
