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

On OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), the map in Lightroom's Map module is very slow to load. It takes several minutes before the first part of the map appears, and some parts don't load at all, saying instead "Sorry, we have no imagery here", even though the part in question is on Google Maps. When zooming in or out, it's the same, it takes very long to update.

Same problem. Everything else is fine - it was never a problem with Mavericks

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.
