Lightroom 13.3 Library & Map Modules GPS problem

[SelkiiD]

With latest update (LRC 13.3), no longer able to batch update GPS field either in Library or Map modules, i.e., select multiple photos in either Library grid or Map film strip, enter GPS coordinates in metadata field. The entered GPS coordinates will only register in the first photo in queue. Only way to update all photos is to enter GPS on each photo individually. This failure is frustrating as this has been my only work-around for the problem outlined below which has existed for years.

This second issue in Map module has been ongoing through many updates: selecting multiple images on film strip and dragging them onto a map have them landing a distance from target. If I try to drag a single photo and drop it directly over a pre-existing flag, it, too, will "bounce" several inches away. I have seen complaints on this elsewhere on net, but have never found a solution. My only alternative has been to batch edit, but now that no longer works.

Make you you have enabled 'Selected Photos' in the metadata panel, not 'Target Photo'.

Thank you! Where did that come from?! Never saw, never used. Doesn't solve the map jump problem, but I can live with that. Thanks!!

This is a long-standing bug that Adobe has never prioritized. See the correct answer of this bug report for workarounds:
