The GPS-Positioning doesn't work anymore. I have installed the latest version of Lightroom Classic. When I start allocating GPS-Positions on the map, nothing happens. When I restart Lightroom it works for one or two images and then it stopps working again.

I've never had any issues with GPS-Positioning before. So, I wonder what the problem is.

Edit 05.02.2024: Please refer to my failure description in my comment below.....

I am on LRC-Version 13.1 and MAC OS 14.3!

I can confirm this issue has been solved in the new update of LR Classic 13.3 - tested on Mac OS 14.5. Thanks!

As this bug already exsits for several months, I would be happy this getting fixed in the next update release.

I also encounter this issue intermittently (Lightroom Classic 13.2, MacOS X 14.4). @johnrellis's suggested solution of changing to the Library module and then restarting Lightroom resolved the issue for me (at least for now).

Incidentally, I have found that even when clicking directly on the map and using "Add GPS Coordinates to Selected Photos" doesn't work for me, I am still able to set GPS coordinates by clicking on a Saved Location in the left sidebar.

"The issue hasn't been fix with the latest update of Lightroom Classic. Version 13.2 for Mac."

It isn't listed as fixed in the LR 13.2 release notes. Adobe will update this thread when it is fixed.

The issue hasn't been fix with the latest update of Lightroom Classic.

Version 13.2 for Mac.

BUT: What is working again, is the allocation of GPS-data by tracklog.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography The allocation of images on a dedicated tracklog isn't working either. It did work in previous versions but currently it doesn't.

I have a comprehensive failure description now....you can follow this as well....

Go to the map module
Select 1 of your images
Search for the location "harvard university" -> is just an example!
Right-click exactly on the yellow marker where the Harvard University is marked.
Choose adding the GPS coordinates to the image (here in screenshot is German)
