| Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/15/12 11:31 PM | Found earlier similar questions but no solutions so far. Here's an earlier posted sample for exactly the same issue. I've had the same problem: - linked images (located in Google Drive) into placemark's description; - checked – everything's fine; - |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | treebles | 5/16/12 6:58 PM | Could you please provide a link to one of your pictures in Drive. A link to the map where the pictures should show would also be helpful. |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/16/12 9:59 PM | OK, here's a picture in my Google Drive and here the map where, under the bus stop, the same should be visible (and also has been visible for a while). |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 2:55 AM | I like to him both guys onto what I figured out about the broken link picture in the above provided Phraase (" Here's an earlier posted sample for exactly the same issue") This sample refers to a really broken URL of the picture.I took a look to the |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 3:17 AM | Well.. thanks, ehg, but I still think it's not that easy.The sharing option of this photo is 'Anyone with the link' and even before posting the link into this forum, I tried it and it worked without logging in. (I also tried (successfully) the sharin |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 3:25 AM | @macmart the new link you provided in your last answer isn't a valid link to a picture FILE. Its a link to the website showing the picture on a website. The URL to the picture itself is this one here:https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/YPsKui-dfoDI6pSS |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 3:38 AM | oh.. sorry! My mistake, of course!However, I know that I didn't do the same mistake in the map (otherwise I would have never seen any pictures in there, right). And I also didn't do the mistake in the initial post.. And: I'm also not able to open the |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 4:27 AM | macmart, thats your original map isn't it?It already shows the broken links do you agree?Means it isn't any matter of the embedding procedure on your drive page. I took a look to only one of the items of the map - the shape "Kohutav läbu" it contains |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | treebles | 5/17/12 5:33 AM | I agree with ehg, it seems to be a permission problem, code 403 means the client, us , is forbideen from accessing the resource, your picture in this case. You should check the sharing permission for the image and the folder containing it. |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 5:35 AM | OK. So lets take the 'Kohutav läbu' (although it's nothing nice :)I've fixed it now and I'm pretty sure the two images are now visible in the original map as well as in the embedded one. No matter where or who is trying to look.And let's put the link |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 6:01 AM | nope!!! Doesn't work & today already not working.Don't need to wait til tomorrow: both links to the pictures are still broken. I always get 403 for both URLs on my endhttps://http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/bPBnu-MKnCbd7UUQ3gSfomKTeQtmZc2NFsZ64iv1__LXObHAA |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 6:02 AM | where did you host the pictures & what platform? In case it is Picasa are you sure you made the album public? |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 6:05 AM | just give following steps a try: sign out from your GoogleAccoutn and enter in the same Browser tab either of both URLshttps://http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/bPBnu-MKnCbd7UUQ3gSfomKTeQtmZc2NFsZ64iv1__LXObHAAcZoQf4c2eHSnDGQvSwaFRA3znU https://lh4.googleus |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 6:16 AM | hmm.. nope.Logged out but the links still worked for me as well as the maps (whereas I, of course, were not able to access Google Drive in general at that time).All these images are in my Google Drive and shared to 'Anyone with the link' which you on |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 6:20 AM | oh.. but still didn't need to wait for tomorrow. Now I already get broken links again. No matter if logged in or not.and when copying, the same images now have new URLs: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/tAKZNuQSzZIyK4QfSsgrBzCItj_svgszYrQRy03ib4L_KI |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 6:22 AM | sounds very strange.Now I'm not anymore able to get the link you posted 8 hours ago (ahvee been able two hours ago)("OK, here's a picture in my Google Drive and here the map where, under the bus stop, the same should be visible (and also has been vis |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 6:25 AM | seems the part of your GoolgeDrive containing the website with the map is public while the folder of the photos are not. |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 6:40 AM | I took a look to my own Drive Account (https://drive.google.com/#home) There are some phots listed too. they are marked as "shared". Going to embedd one of it in a sample map now. Can both of you click the one placemark in it checking the photo (a sc |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 6:43 AM | I see your map but not the image in the placemark description. |

| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 8:08 AM | nice catch we made all together regarding hosted pics on GoogleDrive (or in my case on the former GoogleSites)Let me internal discuss with treebeles how to continue.

| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | macmart | 5/17/12 8:35 AM | Yes, that seems a perfectly correct conclusion – it's Google Drive's problem rather than Maps'. So maybe the whole topic should be closed here or smth..Could it be related to the recent (or still ongoing) transfer from Docs to Drive..(?)Meanwhile I d |
| Re: Broken picture links in placemarks descriptions | ehg | 5/17/12 2:48 PM | yes the map now shows the photos correctly on my end too. Its obviously an issue of correct linking photos hosted on GoogleDrive. cheers ehg |
