P: Map view/module - Ability to geotag photos

I'm probably at the low end of the prosumer category when it comes to photography. I've been using Lightroom for a couple of years. I love the multiple platform feature on the new CC, but geotagging images has always been important for me (enough so that onboard GPS is a mandatory feature when I look for a camera). I had been adding locations to older images in what's now CC Classic. 

Are we going to get that ability in the new CC? 

Even more importantly, will the new AI-based search allow us to do things like pull pictures based on location? And, if so, will we be able to do things like define a radius? This was all possible when we had the maps panel, but seems to be challenging now.

So in some ways, yes there has been some improvements where we can now add a location to a photo.

However we’re still crucially missing a map view of photos.

When can we expect a full release ?

I really miss this feature. As far as I can see the only way to tag images now on android or windows would be to edit the GPS tag manually. I really miss a map module akin to lightroom Classic.

Mieux gérer les données d'emplacement des photos : un module "Cartes" manque à Lightroom CC je trouve, ou il faudrait au moins une meilleure gestion des coordonnées GPS (j'ai perdu les infos gps lors de l'export ! c'est naze). Pouvoir copier ou rentrer manuellement des coordonnées GPS, voire à partir d'un GPX serait super (comme dans LrC).

Là encore, selon moi, l'intérêt de Lightroom est d'être cross-plateforme et est donc particulièrement utile lors de voyage pour sauvegarder et organiser ses photos. Gérer les infos GPS est selon moi un point important dont est capable l'app Photos d'Apple mais pas Lightroom...

I would like to see a map feature added to Lightroom that is similar to the map module in lightroom classic.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

This feature has been resuested since ages and Adobe makes users feel like it's a BIG feature. When it eventually comes, people will be grateful. Whereas this should have been implemented ages ago as it's part of most basic OS since forever. That's one of the prices to pay of the subscription model: the editor is not responsible for innovation. Merely showing the least amount of effort to avoid too many users leaving.

No wonder everybody hates what Adobe has become and are avidly looking for alternatives such as DxO, DaVinci, ...

I use my phone to take pictures of places i will want to return to with my DSLR. My Samsung S22 captures the information but mobile does not display it when you import the photos from the phone so i have to use Samsung's software to find the location. So what is the point in Lightroom mobile.

So it's now been 7 years that we ask and hope for basic features which never come...

I would love a map view or something else that allows me to find all the photos I have from a certain geographical area. 
For example: We go to Disney World often. I'd love a map view that allows me to quickly get to all photos from Disney World. It would be granular with zoom level. So when zoomed out it might show all of Florida. If you zoom in deep you only get photos from a specific area of Magic Kingdom inside Disney World. 
I can think of a ton of use cases for a feature like this. Just being able to get all photos taken at my home quickly would be very useful.

Dear Adobe Team,

it would be great if the Android App will support the display of geo location of a photo just like the web app does.

Not sure if this is available for iOS - if not, pls add it there, too.
