P: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

I have sold my 21.5 Mac ordered a standard 27 which should arrive on Monday Tuesday I will update thread re maps

Again Adobe give us a clue when might you pick up a phone and speak with apple find the code you require and fix something in the first place you said worked even though this was reported months ago

Same problem as everyone else.

Same problem. Everything else is fine - it was never a problem with Mavericks
Mid 2011 27" iMac 3.4Ghz Intel core i7 AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Sky broadband connection at around 7-8MB/Sec

Yes absolutely, it does not remove the issue, if connected to a faster broadband the upload is still going on, as you say it does not manifest itself in a visible way.

Also I believe that the upload is going via SSL to google analytics, I therefore guess that on a map request Google is asking LR to provide some information and LR is making a dog's dinner of responding!

I suspect the problem (flooded network connection??) is still there when you use a fast connection - it's that the speed of the connection is "masking" the problem, if you see what I mean.

I don't think the network speed is actually fixing the underlying problem. 10% of very fast is fast enough to fetch the map, if you see what I mean...?

Mark, I appreciate what you say but not only have I tried using my 4G phone as a hotspot which fixes the problem, I have connected my Mac to a friends Internet connection who has better speed than me, this also fixes the problem. There is definitely an element of upload connection speed involved.

Agree: tested last night. And it's not the internet connection either, because I have one machine which works, and one which doesn't.

No. The Catalogue size makes no difference. I have tested it on a catalogue with only 20 photos. The Maps still don't display.

I would LOVE to know what all this data is. There is a lot of it, and it's encrypted...

Is the issue related to the size of the LR catalogue? I can't believe it's video card related- as I have said several times, I can get maps to load by pre-fetching the tiles in another application.
