P: Map module keeps flashing "map offline" when it's not

Thanks Paul. Ironically the map is indeed offline at the moment the message is flashing.

I sent a tweet to Adobe's Lightroom account.  We'll see if there's any reply.

Adobe where are you hiding. We need relief - SOON !!!!

Pete, you seem to be the only Adobe person taking any note of this issue.  This is a serious problem for many of us.  Can you provide some update on the status of an Adobe response.

Same problem for me. Makes using the maps useless

Indeed, i'm having it on both Windows 10 creators update as MacOS 10.12.5. On both machines it appears with the latest LR update.

Same problem here. Running Lightroom CC 2015.10.1
Windows 10 Home. 

Exactly the same problem, extremely annoying!

Here is video of the behavior (tip: it's annoying):

Addendum: dragging a photo onto the map, it takes the software around 12-15 seconds to 'locate' the GPS and append the 'geotag' icon to the image in Lightroom; I have 200+ images to geotag in my current session, so that's ~50 minutes of waiting for the item to be geotagged (15 secs * 200 images = 3000 seconds). Unbelievable.

Same problem here... Mac OS 10.12.5; Lightroom CC 2015.10.1
