    All my maps are in an album but they haven't shown up once
    But a picture collage came out twice in a few days and is currently showing.
    No one else is seeing the repeated maps?

    It is random..... so... it is very possible you may not see yours.

    It is statistically more likely to see a duplicate of any image than to see one of yours. (ref Birthday "Paradox") Maybe? One of the uber-mathaletes might be able to give a more sane answer....

    Yes, it's the Birthday Problem, although It's "some image" rather than "any image".
