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.

    I am careful to ensure that all of my images are placed on a map, so I know where on earth they were shot. But when I export files from Lightroom CC, after being sure the "Include metadata" box is checked, then import them into Flickr or Apple Photos, that geo data is lost. This is a major pita for my workflow, and is making me question whether to continue my transition from Apple Photos (where this is not a problem) to LRCC.

    Please fix this in a future release!

    Target: LR Desktop, LR Ipad, LR Android mobile.

    How to change the
    GPS coordinates of a photo in LR?

    Context : I scanned
    paper photos with my phone and put in LR Cloud. Then even if I intervene in LR
    on the fields Location / city / Region / Country, the small map does not update.

      I also really miss this. Can we at least get a response from Adobe? Are you even considering this?

        This feature is essential for my workflow too, and it makes me keep working on Lightroom Classic instead of moving ahead to Lightroom CC. Please implement that !

            I really like the map view in Lightroom Classic. But it is no longer exist in Lightroom CC.
            Please support map view asap as this will make more fun to our collection.

              BTW: see also this post https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/general-feature-development. I wanted to get some thoughts and feedback from the community here and was actually a bit surprised about getting only 1-2 replies. This would actually imply everybody else is happy about the status quo.

                Agreed! My point being there’s an obvious shift in priorities and audience target, imho. Even reported bugs aren’t fixed.

                Regarding communication, I couldn’t agree more: it’s a one way only. I’ve seen more intresting responses on reddit than here, i think it was regarding hdr or pano stacking.

                  I know what you mean, but don't get me wrong. I don't want to complain about existing features or about not seeing any progress. I am in the software business myself and I know it is hard or impossible to satisfy everybody. As a start, I just would like to see more information and more communication from Adobe. Having this channel (feedback.photoshop.com) is great, but currently it seems to be one way only.

                    [Sarcasm:] What are you complaining about? You've got that fancy "learn" and "discover" section everyone was asking for and using aaaaaaall the time.
