The screen shot you attached does not seem to show any problem.  You have one photo selected and the map module is showing where that photo was taken and indicates a total of 6 shots were taken there.  It indicates there are no other photos within the range of the map.  Maybe if you expand the map using the scale slider you will see more.  If you click on other photos in the film strip the map module should move to their location and show that photo's location and any others that are within the range of the map.  The film strip shows the map icon on all the photos shown, so if selected you should see their location on the map.  I don't see any evidence of a problem.

 

BTW, the map module uses the GPS metadata, not keywords.  Keywords you may be adding to the images will not make any difference when displaying photo location in the map module.

Well here is a new sample  But what I am trying to say is. normally below the search map box in the upper right corner of the map module. The system has in the past displayed the name of the city/town/county etc location in a black box.  I then use that information later to create a keyword list tree in the Library module of  Location.  See New photo Example  where the map module decided to display the location name which shows Photographs  flags  but in this new example it tells me they were taken in the Lenoir NC  US  area. Unlike the other attached photo and the system didnt. its a 50/50 chance. I am using WIndows 10 and current software levels and LRC 12.4 thanks for any help anyone can give.

Here is a little followup to my Tree comment.. why I look for the city/state location and then create a tree in the library module.  If your wondering, This is a photograph of Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek)  Grand Father. Buried in Folkston GA. Picture #1 is showing my Keyword List that I created based upon location and #2 show the map module displaying the town location.
