Good afternoon, I want to communicate the fault in the map module, specifically in the altitude field, since whatever the altitude of the photo exif LR Classic places 880m or 900m.

This field I have it well verified through Windows properties.

Thanks for the attention.

Correct answer johnrellis

Edit: got the original statement backwards it should be:

I imported the test image with Address Lookup enabled it shows the altitude as 880m.

Then when imported with Address Lookup paused it shows as 934.2m (LR7.5 on Win7)

I see the same behavior. Please post a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum, where Adobe wants all product feedback and bugs posted: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/categories/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightroom . Be sure to include the link to the file and screenshots of the Metadata > Location panel with and without address lookup paused. Also, copy the first ten lines of Help > System Info.

Are you importing a photo that already has GPS coordinates and altitude stored in its metadata? Or are you placing the photo on the Map within LR? Or are you geotagging the photo with a GPX log file?

The photos bring GPS data (Pentax K1 or K3). Until before the last update, it always worked correctly.

Try importing a photo you've never imported before. In the Import window, make sure that Apply During Import > Metadata is set to None, as shown here:

If Altitude now imports correctly, then you were probably using a Metadata import preset that was setting altitude.

If setting Apply During Import > Metadata to None doesn't correct the problem, upload a sample photo that's never been imported to Dropbox or similar and post the sharing link here. We can test the photo in other LR configurations to see if there's an issue with the photos, with LR in general, or with particular LR configurations.
