P: Placing photos on Map module erratic and slow since update LR Classic CC 7.5 (Windows)

I have a similar problem :

Whenever I switch to the module or move the map, the label "Map is off line" appears for a while, then the map displays but not Always completely.

When I want to change the location of one or several photo(s) by moving the orange tab(s) on the map,

- often it does not take the move into account, just nothing happens.

- or it takes it into account the move, but assigns it to a neighboring photo :(,

- and sometime, for no apparent Reason, it works (switching to a different module, select different photos (do anything) and returning to the map module helps).

Same problem for me too.

It seems silly to say, but it feels as if alternating the method of geotagging (change regularly between ctrl-click, right-click and drag) helps to make the geotagging work. I just placed about 30 geotags, with at most 1 to 3 retries. Also I noticed that one time I tried 3 times, I stopped, being disappointed. Then, after 5 seconds, the pin appeared after all. However, I'm sure it has not been "just" a delay issue in the past days.

In my LR forum thread johnrellis kindly referred me to a powerful plugin for LR (freeware) that can do geotagging. Didn't try it myself yet, but will do so if Adobe will not fix the present issue.

I agree with Carlos, at least for  me, this problem appeared with the 7.5 upgrade, I didn't have it with 7.4.

John Beardsworth: I do have both of those options (reverse address lookup) checked. And while the API change could indeed be the root cause, I'm pretty sure that the trigger was the 7.5 update. Geotagging was working flawlesssly with 7.4 .

Joop van den Eijnde: I have 16 GB and still I'm experiencing this problem. It's not a performance issue.

The issue was marked as "solved" when it was just me complaining and it looked like it was working fine, so I said "hey it's fixed" (but I was wrong - the issue came back later). 

But now that more people have me-too'ed and posted since, I agree that this thread should be set back to "acknowledged" or something neutral. Otherwise I guess Adobe's engineers won't have a look at it.

Please G0apher , could you do that for us? Thanks!

A friend had the offset problem with LR 7.5 and Windows 10. A reinitialization of the LR preference fixed it (and as a bonus, improved the LR performance !).

I also get this problem. I'm abble to make it happen usthe following sequence :

1. Go the map module
2. Select a group of photo that are already geotagged
3. Suppress the GPS coordinates of these photos

Now, if I drag a group of photos (or even a single photo) over the map, LR won't set the position.

Notes :
I had the map message before ugrading to 7.5 (from 7.4)
I've reinitialized the LR préférences, it didn't fix the problem (however it improved the LR performances !)

    So

I have the same problem, also reported it in the LR Classic forum.
Whatever method I try to place geotags in map mode, ctrl-click, right click or drag, it takes many trials before the tag is actually placed, maybe 3, 5, or even 10 or 15 times. Single photo or a selection doesn't matter. It sometimes helps to restart LR, then it works a little better for the first photos to be tagged.

I attached my (wired optical) mouse directly to the pc instead of a hub, didn't make any difference. I don't have mouse issues in any other app btw. I tried different metadata presets on the info panel on the right. Doesn't make any difference. Switched of the automatic address lookup in the preferences (reverse geotagging), didn't help either. Could this be a memory issue (8 GB)? Or does geotagging require interaction with the Adobe servers (which may be slow)?

I don't consider this issue to be solved, as it says in the header of this thread. If it is not solved in the next few days I will be forced to downgrade to version 7.4. I never had any problems with that version.

Please let this be fixed soon, it is very frustrating and costs me too much time to manage my photo collection.

Same for me on a Mac.

But I discovered that when the tagging stops to work after like 5 photos, then you wait for a few minutes, it works again for a few photos before stopping to work again and so on.

Restart Lightroom, restart computer, etc. - no matter what I do, it's always the same behavior after a while.
