Windows 11 21H2

If you shut down Lightroom Classic 11.3.1 with the Library Module showing, then re-launch later, the Map Module works fine.

If you shut down Lightroom Classic 11.3.1 with the Map Module showing, and then re-launch later, the Map Module is not usable. The exact form of the error changes, its not always the same, sometimes I get JavaScript error, sometimes the Map Module just freezes, other times it has other errors, but the Map Module simply doesn't work in this situation.

"the Hybrid (Google) Map is displayed in 3D version after a zoom level, but sometimes by just dragging (same zoom) the map to another location. Very strange and annoying."

There's a separate bug thread about the random appearance of 3D view:

Please add to that thread: Your precise version of LR (not "latest"), your operating system, observations about when it comes and goes. Unless there's a way to reliably repeat the problem, Adobe is unlikely to pay attention.

The hybrid 3D map is also a major annoyance. Makes it very hard to pinpoint a photo's location.

Problem with the Map module (LR Classic 11.3.1) on MacOS (12.3.1, latest):

1/ sometimes unable to drag a photo to add geolocation. Sometimes its works after relaunch.

2/ the Hybrid (Google) Map is displayed in 3D version after a zoom level, but sometimes by just dragging (same zoom) the map to another location. Very strange and annoying.

Bugs about the Map Module in LRC > 11.3 have now been reported for a month at least, and nothing from Adobe? For the price of the subscription, we are waiting for a better support.

As the original person to post about this problem (on April 21), I should note that the "workaround" many people have reported where closing/opening LRC while in the library allows maps to work while doing so in the map panel does not allow maps to work, does not fix the problem for me. Maps do not work in 11.3.1 no matter what panel is active when I close LRC. The only way I can get them to work is to revert entirely to 11.2.

Map stopped working after upgrade to 11.3. Had to roll back to 11.2 for it to work. I have Windows 10 Home version 21H1

Everything in maps works on my end. What exactly happens, or does not happen? "Stopped working" is very unspecific.
