Map module to be discontinued?

So, as you can see I am running Lightroom 7.4 and I get the message shown above when starting the Map Module. If I go to the web site mentioned in the message, it shows a slightly different message that applies to only Lightroom 4 and 5. So ... we have a contradiction. Can anyone explain if the map module is really going away for current subscribers who as of today use Lightroom 7.4?

The comment is a general response by the way - not to you John.


Rikk Flohr, Adobe Official Rep, posted this in the last hour:

Thank you for your patience. After additional investigation, it appears this message was appearing by mistake for some Lightroom Classic 7.4 users. 

The issue with the errant warning message should be fixed now.  You may need to relaunch Lightroom to clear it.  If it still appears after a relaunch, you may need to clear Lightroom’s preferences.

I agree. It would be more helpful to say:

1. A change in Map calls has been made by Google.

2. To see the location of an image on a map, copy Alt/Option click the coordinates from of the GPS field in the Metadata panel located at the right side in the Map module. Then, search for these coordinates on the Internet.
