P: Photo placed in wrong spot on map

When I drag and drop an image thumbnail to the map in map module, the location ends up some way off the location I dropped. In display settings, the scale parameter is 125%. If I change this to 100% (resulting in tiny text) the dragged thumbnail ends up at the correct location on the map. If I change back to 125% so I can read the text, the location is again wrong. This seems to be a repeatable bug.

Using a Windows 10 enterprise system. LR classic 13.1

It may work for most people, but after 20+ years of using Lightroom Classic for PC, it has started happening to me.
This, again, is where Adobe have lost their way in caring for quality; instead in many cases, going for gimmicks.

I have lost total trust in Adobe for accuracy as I also have another major problem relating to retention of data, that Adobe are incapable of correcting!!

Bonjour, 

Je me permets de créé ce post car je rencontre un problème concernant la localisation GPS de mes photos. 

Je positionne manuellement les photos dans l'onglet "Cartes'. Le problème est que j'observe un décalage entre l'endroit où je souhaite positionner les photos sur la carte et le positionnement que le logiciel effectue. 

Ci-dessous une capture d'écran :

Merci d'avance pour votre aide à la résolution de ce décalage.

I'm using Windows 11 lastest update.

This is the same bug that appeared way back. When I drag a photo to  the map the location pops 3" away from the intended point. I can then grab the location icon and move it to the place I want it.

"I have started to upload pictures with GPS coordinates. Some pictures show the riight coordinate and mos others do not."

The other reports in this thread concern dragging photos to the map to set their coordinates. Your symptoms are different. Please upload a couple of the original problem photos to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar, and post the sharing link here.

Up until a couple of weeks ago the GPS feature worked really well. Now when I try and adjust the GPS location (or create one for a photo that does not have this already) it drops the GPS pin in a slightly different location to where I click on screen. For example if I try and drop the GPS pin on my house it will instead drop it about 1-2 streets away. Any ideas?

I just upgraded to 11.0.1 . Still not fixed. Ludicrous.

This is still not fixed. Having the font scaling in Lightroom (latest version - 11.0.1) different from the system value seems to be (one of the) cause(s). Is there anything I can do to help with getting this fixed. The workarounds work, but one of them makes the font scaling feature in Lightroom pointless, and the other makes it slower to put photos on the map.

I have the last version of lightroom classic as of spetember 2021.

I was looking at the map of my photos when I realized some photos were not assigned at the right location so I started to move them. But the more I did the more there were photos that were assigned stupid location. I was only moving photos that were single (not clustered with other nearby photos so no error on that point). And I remebered for someof them that the location they had befor was ok. Finally I started to find photos on the map that did not even have GPS coodinates! They were randomly placed on the map. Thats when I realized that lightroom do not respect the cooordinates!!! So I opened 3 different other software using different metadata api and all of them showed the photos in the correct location. I lightroom the error ranges from a few meters to several thousand kilometers. (and it is not a question of cluster and zoom level). So this module is unasable for me, but also I regret having trust it since correctly placed photos were moved by trusting lightroom.

This bug really needs to be corrected.

When I drag thumbnails from the filmstrip to the map, Lightroom places the pin to the right and down. On my 4K monitor that's about one inch right, a quarter inch down. It takes me a few hit-and-misses to get the pin placed correctly. When I copy the GPS coordinates from an image's metadata and use these in Google Maps, this shows up in the same place as the Map module's pin.
I run LR Classic CC latest version 10.4 on Windows 10 Pro latest version, Nvidia Geforce Studio driver latest version, and I use a wired mouse that functions fine.

Any suggestions for overcoming this issue, other than the trusted hit-and-miss work-around?
