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.

OK - put a network monitor on and ran LR. Like others I get an increased and sustained upload traffic of around 27 KB/S once maps is opened and only reduced when LR is quit. I am on a slow internet link - 1.2MB - so most panels will not load. What is interesting is that the traffic is going back to wi-in-f95.le100.net which is part of the externally facing Google server farm and it leaves my mac on port 443 which is usually for HTTPS / SSL traffic. This must be easy to trace Adobe???

New things i have found

Ok as maps will not work i decided to work on images from2008 i had tagged before this upgrade. I use flickr and when i wish to publish i go from my DNG files and export sRGB ask for it to be imported into original folder.

What happens is it creates a new folder at the top of the menu if i try and drag the images back it tells me they are there. If i ask for a snyc folder it tells me all the images that are present already are missing

If i flag for delete and delete (not remove) when i try and re import the images it tells me a folder is there already it does not show in LR catalog or finder

No idea if this s just mine but i always apple a copyright and my name on export thats bust as well. I have used this in LR4 and LR5 and this is only since my upgrade

What makes Adobe think that LR6 when its released will fix these issues as you tell us you don't know why its not working in LR5.6

I am downloading Mavericks now i really did not want to have to go back over inset LR is apart from applying the adjustments needed in develop module seems like a chocolate fire guard

Cheers

Same problem with the LR 5.6 map module on my MacBook Pro 17" (Mid 2009) running OS 10.10 over WIFI (DSL) at home: no map at all or only a few tiles shown after minutes of loading. As soon as I connect it to my iPhone LTE hotspot it works like a charm again.

I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro early 2011. Map module does not work at all or is extremly slow. I get a lot of these error messages:

BUT: few days ago, it worked fine for some hours. Even though I had slow internet in a hotel. Don't know why.

This is a fundamental failure on Adobe's testing team.

I would expect a fix for this sooner rather than later. I was on the verge of seeking an alternative product already!

I should clarify this, I only make previews of my collections, not ALL my images, that would be too much for a USB stick!

Two macs and neither one has a functional Lightroom Map Module. With both the internet connection goes crazy UPLOADING some unknown information when the map module is opened. Only partial or no maps show up. The activity doesn't stop until LR is closed. All other apps I have that use google maps or maps in general work normally - openstreetmaps, JOSM, iPhoto, Google Earth, Apple Maps, PhotoLinker. The iMac was an upgrade to Yosemite, the Macbook was a clean install.
