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.

      Please implement the map module on the cloud version, the version in classic works really well now and it would be fantastic to have that step of the of the workflow avialable on iOS. It is really painful to delay publishing images until I'm back at a laptop with the full version just to geocode. Pretty much the rest of the workflow can be done on the cloud version now.

        The paradoxe is that you can filter by location with metadata. It means that the information is known, just have to use it.

          This is incredibly frustrating. Anyone come up with an alternative? I just want to travel with my iPad. Import / geotag photos. Why is this so damn hard for adobe?

            So still no map module introduced in Lightroom in the April update, starting to feel like it will never come.

                This is exactly what I am wanting as well, being able to take only my iPad and backup my photos and add the GPS coridnates via a GPX track.

                  Can pls add geotagging module to the Lightroom Mobile? I'd like to start with iPad only workflow in LR when traveling but it lack this feature (esp. when shooting in RAW using mirrorless camera without GPS module). Would be grat to add location manualy or from recroded track. 

                   

                  Kind regards, Aleksander

                      Yes I was surprised they mentioned it was being worked on as well, but it's taking forever which is incredibly frustrating. And I agree, so many "social" keep being added which no one asked for. -does any one sue these? I personally have never used the "discover" section
