Hi,

I'm trying to use the geonames RSS to GeoRSS Converter with the KML option to convert Google Panoramio RSS user-feed.

The original RSS user-feed is: http://www.panoramio.com/userfeed/7101445

The string I'm attempting to pass to geonames.org is: http://api.geonames.org/rssToGeoRSS?feedUrl=www.panoramio.com/userfeed/7101445&username=****&type=kml

(with my username in the **** part)

... which works, to a point in that it only returns 5 images when as a test I put that geonames URL string into the Google Maps website search box, whilst the original RSS feed returns all images.

Now I know that geonames.org restricts the response from RSS feeds to 25 (I think) but I'd still expect to see more than a handful of images on the Google Map ...

Am I missing something?

(FYI I'm trying to make the panoramio images display on the Google Earth API plug-in where it does not handle the addition of panoramio layers, only KML layers)

Thanks

The document returned by the geonames rss converter contains 25 entries. However there are only 5 distinct coordinates:
grep coordin rss* | sort | uniq
<coordinates>-105.4672148,40.6666482</coordinates>
<coordinates>-105.4897122,41.0883176</coordinates>
<coordinates>-105.5911007,41.3113669</coordinates>
<coordinates>-106.1416774,41.2983055</coordinates>
<coordinates>-107.2256,41.7855053</coordinates>

It seem googlemaps only displays one photo per location/coordinate.
