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

Sure, iStat Menus isn't showing anything out of the ordinary but do you have a particular network traffic analyser you'd recommend?

Might I suggest you put a network traffic analyser application between one of your Yosemite upgraded Mac and the internet and look if you also see the reported heavy uplink data outgoing ?
Perhaps you also have it but it isn't sufficient to flood your uplink because you have a larger broadband connection.

I have asked over in the DPReview Mac Forum if others have a normally functioning Maps Module after upgrading to Yosemite. Hopefully folks will respond.

I am curious about why Lightroom initiates a large UPLOAD when I go to the Maps Module. This seems counterintuitive and I wonder what is in those outbound MB of data?

Looking for common denominators I also have a slow broadband connection (7 Mbs down, .9 Mbs up).

Thanks to the Adobe staff for looking into this. I use the Map Module routinely and acutely miss its availability.

I want to see it fixed as much as you do Allan. For anyone affected, it's a big bug, no question. Bugs that don't affect everyone are just harder to trace.

Victoria, you need to remember that this is not perhaps the only thread I for one started a separate thread and got directed here.

A few thread seem to think it's flas player though I have tried the solutions and it never resolved anything.

Personaly it seems that if people myself included can bypass the problem with an iPhone its probably some method that maps communicate with the network and it certainly drains my bandwidth quickly

Er, yes, I can't replicate it on any of my machines, for a start. It would be all over the web if it affected everyone, but so far this thread has a total of 18 votes.

A small number of people? Until now, all of my friends experience this issue. Is there anyone who's running LR5 in Yosemite without problems...?

No one's saying it's not LR - but just that it's only happening to a small number of people, which makes it more difficult to track down and fix. Your observations about the Internet speed could well be key in Adobe being able to replicate it.

First off, apologies if this post ends up duplicated. I sent it initially from my iPhone but it does not appear to be in the thread?

Jeffrey if you read the full thread there are plentiful examples of why this most unlikely to be hardware (or computer/system) specific, it is almost certainly LR. Apple Maps, Bing Maps, Google Maps, OpenstreetMaps all work perfectly. As also does the Aperture Maps module. For example:

1) If I plug my 4g iPhone that gets 25Mbs the problem goes away. My standard broadband is only 6 Mbs
2) I just bought a brand new iMac Retina, the issue persists on the new machine.
3) I also have a MacBook pro, this has the same problem but can also be 'fixed' by plugging in my iPhone.

Surely this is enough to prove it is not specific to hardware (or computer / system). In my case it is definitely broadband speed related. Anyhow what is Lightroom doing when a map is requested? Huge amounts of data immediately start uploading / downloading, aside from the question of what is being uploaded to where and to who is it going??

Sorry, I should of said "computer/system" specific since we're not seeing it on all systems.
