The map module in Adobe Lightroom Classic v12.3 will not load Google Maps correctly. Error message: "See the JavaScript console for technical details."

@glk47, try these troubleshooting steps:

 

1. In a Web browser, verify that maps.google.com works.

 

2. In LR, go to the Library module. Then exit LR, restart LR, and go back to the Map module. (Exiting LR directly from the Map module can cause your symptoms.)

I still have that problem in LR Classic version 13.1 I get the message: "Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details."

"maps.google.com works fine. But exiting in library mode doesn't help, I still get no map."

 

Hmm. Given you're on a four-year-old version of LR, which Adobe no longer supports, I don't think Adobe would be of much help on this.

Thank's John, maps.google.com works fine. But exiting in library mode doesn't help, I still get no map.

@Fjellfotografen, you likely are experiencing a different issue than the bug reported (and fixed) in this thread, given that you're on a very old version of LR and Mac OS anbd you're observing different symptoms.

 

"Nothing happens, I just see a gray field."

I run Lightroom Classic 9.4 on OSX 10.13.6 and everything has been working fine, but after the latest update in December 2023, I can no longer get the map to show up. Nothing happens, I just see a gray field.
Everything else seems to be working as usual as far as I can tell.

Same happening here. Google Maps is very unstable on Lightroom Classic. I also Have ACdsee and PhotoMechanic and don't have this issue in those programs

I just recieved the same error in Lightroom Classic 12.5.  I was updating some geotags and Lightroom hung up.  I've restarted Lightroom and rebooted the PC with no success.
