Google+ Upgrade FAQ
How do I upgrade my account?
- You need a Google+ profile or page to upgrade your account. Select carefully, upgrading your Panoramio account to a Google+ profile isn't reversible. You cannot switch to a different account later.
- Go to the Panoramio settings page and click "Connect your Google+ account" button. You will be prompted to select and confirm the account you would like to upgrade.
What will change when I upgrade?
- Your Panoramio profile will mirror your Google+ profile. Specifically, it will include your Google+ name and photo and — only if you’ve set it to Public — your home city.
- This upgrade won’t affect any other info or content in your Panoramio account; your photos, your group and forum memberships, and so on will all remain the same.
