P: (Europe) Map Module not showing a Map

Report · Mar 05, 2025

Hallo,

trotz aktueller Version 14.2 funktioniert bei mir in LightroomClassic seit mehreren Tagen das Kartenmodul nicht. Ich bitte um Hilfe bzw. Aufklärung!

Report · Sep 01, 2025

@Ralf_Oh�, thanks for the additional information. There must be some setting or cached file specific to the original Microsoft user that got left behind when you moved to the new local user, though you tried deleting the most obvious ones (preferences and LR's cached files).

But it's good you've found a (painful) workaround -- that could help others.

I doubt that Adobe will prioritize this bug -- there are lots of other Map bugs outstanding.

Bonjour Ralf-Oh, merci pour cette solution qui fonctionne également parfaitement pour moi, même la recherche avec le nom des lieux fonctionne alors que dans la version 14.1.1 elle ne fonctionne pas. Dorénavant ce compte sera dédié exclusivement au travail sur Lightroom classic et évitera l'installation et la désinstallation des différentes versions. Il serait tout de même temps qu'Adobe résolve ce problème mais cela semble insurmontable !?

Bonjour Raph-Oh, effectivement en passant par un autre utilisateur, le module carte semble fonctionner. Je suis sur la version LRC 14.5.1. Adobe met du temps à nous aider. Depuis 6 mois, je suis en difficulté alors que cela marche sur un portable.

Cordialement

Je le même problème. Ce n'est pas seulement un problème du module carte, c'est un problème de l'acess au adobe servers. La synchronisation avec Lihtroom mobel ne fonctionne pas non plus

Bonjour Joachim, comme indiqué plus haut, crée sur ton ordinateur une nouvelle session avec un nouveau compte dans Windows 10 ou 11 et tu retrouveras toutes le fonctionnalitées de Lighroom Classic même dans sa dernière version. Bien sûr Adobe aurait dû résoudre ce problème rencontré par certaines sessions de Windows, mais rien ne vaut le sytème D. Pour créer une nouvelle session avec un nouveau compte, recherche sur le net si tu ne sais pas faire. ! Tiens nous au courant de ton résultat ça aidera tout le monde.

I have been unable to get map module to work for some time - months, a year. I have finally dedicated some time to this and have done everything recomended, short of use a different computer. I have reset preferences, played with firewalls and set up new catalogues. I have closed it on Library and re-opened it to switch to Maps. Nothing. The screen remains greyed out. Once, after clearing cache, I got a map for a few seconds but no tags. Another time a message briefly said LR couldn't connect to servers. Internet is good and Google maps works just fine on a browser. Below is a past of the system details. I am fully up to date with my subscription. Please help. Thank you. R

Thank you. I have tried everything here. I did research all these posts before submitting my own. R

I have now also tried connecting via a VPN and pretend I'm in the US. Still doesn't work.

That bug report lists one recent work around that several users have reported works: Create a new Windows local user (not a "Microsoft" user) and log in to that:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-europe-map-module-not-showing-a-map/idc-p/15...

LR squirrels away information in many hidden places, and it appears that there is some corrupted data messing with Maps that we haven't found. (Adobe hasn't shown much interest in fixing Map bugs.)

If creating a new user works, you could try using Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to remove all traces of all Creative Cloud apps and then reinstall. (It won't remove your catalog or presets.) But I suspect that the Map module, which uses a Google Chromium toolkit, may be storing corrupted data in some place that the Cleaner tool doesn't know about.

To help others, please report back whether or not these two steps help.

After much tinkering, I have it working but only with version 14.1. It may be there's a couple of versions ahead that it works but too tedious. It'll do for now but shame this isn't sorted in latestest update. Thank you all.

What were the results of creating a new local user on your computer and logging into that?

See here for how to add a new Windows user accout:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/manage-user-accounts-in-windows-104dc19f-6430-4b49-6a2b-...

When you get to this dialog:

click "I don't have this person's sign-in information" to create a local account, not a "Microsoft" account.

Then log out and login to that new account. Create a test catalog with a few photos and see if you can use the Map module.

Report · Oct 13, 2025

Hello,
This problem has been occurring for many users recently - usually it is because Lightroom loses the connection to the map servers (Google Maps / Mapbox).

Please try the following:

Close and restart Lightroom.
In the preferences under “Performance,” briefly deactivate the “Use graphics processor” option , then reactivate it.
If that doesn't help, log out of Adobe Creative Cloud and log back in.

Some users also report that the map module works automatically again after a day so it seems to be a server-side issue.

Report · Oct 13, 2025

Bonsoir, le module carte ne fonctionne pas sous win 11. En passant par un autre utilisateur, sur la même machine, le même catalogue : il fonctionne. Il fonctionne également sur un pc portable. L'origine du bug ne doit pas être très difficile à trouver. Adobe ne semble pas interessé par les relontées des utilisateurs européens.

Mes échanges avec les supports Microsof tet Adobe n'ont rien donné. Cela fait 10 mois que je subis ce dysfonctionnement.

@gérardb74531905, "Using another user, on the same machine, the same catalog: it works."

Thanks for confirming that. Several users have now reported that workaround helps.

In Version 15.0 map ist still not working. It's frustrating. Nobody cares about it. Using another user is not an option for me.

Report · Oct 29, 2025

Using another user is not an option for me, too! I am more than disappointed that Adobe does not consider it necessary to fix the bug.

Report · Nov 01, 2025

This is so rediculous!

It is almost a year since i reported this error. Several updates later - including a major revision update - and Adobe has still not addressed this issue, expecting their customers to resort to all kinds of risky hacks in order to get their software working. Apprently they prioritize pumping Lightroom full og all kinds of A.I. crap-features, instead of making the core product work. I guess its time to move on from Adobe - that's a hard call after so many years

I'd be happy to help get you an answer to this issue, but first, I need a few more details. Can you share your system info? You can find this by going to Help > System Info while in Lightroom Classic.

P.S. I've also moved your post to the Lightroom Classic Board.

The bezel on the map says (translated to English), "The map is offline".

There's a bug, outstanding since at least early 2025, where some users (mostly in Europe) can't see the map:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-europe-map-module-not-showing-a-map/idi-p/15...

The only known workaround is to create a new Windows or Mac user and log in as that user.
