Hallo,

 

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

I was able to demonstrate that grey maps occur when  there is high network latency between your computer and Google's servers (e.g. with a satellite link).  A workaround that works for me:

 

After the grey map appears, wait for at least 90 seconds (you may seen the grey background change slightly). Then click the center of the zoom slider at the bottom of the map module (don't try to use the + button):-

J'ai le même problème avec Lightroom Classic 14.2 : un écran gris affiché sur le module Carte, un message d'erreur "Impossible de se connecter au serveur Adobe" très fugace, et les contournement avec le module Bibliothèque ne fonctionne pas.

@r�gis_3164: "the workarounds with the Library module do not work."

 

Try this one, which works in my testing:

Hi,

 

das Kartenmodul ist bei mir in der aktuellen Version 14.2 nicht aufrufbar. Es wird kein Fehler angezeigt, lediglich ein grauer Bildschirm.

 

Bitte um Hilfe!

@Björn383063031e2b: "the map module is not accessible in the current version 14.2. No error is displayed, just a gray screen."

 

As you can see in this thread, many users running LR in German are experiencing similar symptoms. There are two known workarounds to this bug:

 

1. Switch to the Library module, exit LR, restart LR, switch to the Map module, and wait for at least two minutes. This may or may not work for you.

 

2. Roll back to LR 14.1.1

Bonjour, peut-on espérer avoir une solution proposée par Adobe pour résoudre définitivement ce problème d'affichage et d'accès au module carte dans Lightroom Classic 14.2 ? Cela fait maintenant 2 mois que cela dure et malgrè plusieurs demande aucune réponse n'est donnée !

Hey @Björn383063031e2b

 

Thank you for sharing which version of Lightroom Classic you're using! If you try zooming in or out of the map, does it suddenly start working? If not, try resizing the app and see if that helps.

I've observed that when LR is running in German, and you restart LR while in the Map module, you're much more likely to trip over the years-old-bug where the Map module fails to display correctly. I see these symptoms in German but not in English.

 

But when I restart LR from the Library module and then go to the Map module, in German and English I always get a functioning Map module.

 

In my LR 14.2 / Mac OS 15.2, when I restart LR in German, I always see this error initially:

 

"Unable to connect to Adobe servers. The map module is not working."

 

After 2 - 30 seconds, sometimes the correct map is displayed anyway. But sometimes the main panel is blank:

 

And sometimes it shows this error:

 

"Oops! An error has occurred. Google Maps was not loaded correctly on this page. You can find technical details in the JavaScript console"

Das Kartenmodul in LRC funktioniert nach dem letzten Update auf Version 14.2 nicht mehr.  Betriebssystem W11 - Prozessor AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor, 3701 MHz, 12 Kern(e), 24 logische(r) Prozessor(en).. Auf meinem Laptop, gleiches Betriebssystem - Intel i5 - 8.Gen. funktioniert es ohne Probleme.

Hat jemant eine Idee?

Viele Grüße

Jürgen

Hey, @J�rgen Sch�tz. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

Do you see any specific errors in the Map module in Lightroom? Has this started to happen since a recent update? 

The Map module depends more on the Internet than the CPU. Please share a screenshot of what you see. 

 

Please check if the issue you see here matches one of the known issues with the Map module in Lightroom Classic 14.x: https://adobe.ly/3QRPjPL

 

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Ich hatte gehofft, das das Problem mit der neuen Version 14.3 gelöst wurde. Ist aber nicht so. Das Kartenmodul funktioniert bei mir seit dem Update 14.2 nicht mehr. Vielleicht sollte ich mich von Lightroom verabschieden. Denn das Kartenmodul ist das Feature, das Ligtroom von der Konkurrenz abhebt.

Ich verwende Win 10. Vor 11 Tagen habe ich mein LrC auf die neueste Version 14.2 geupdatet. Gestern Abend habe ich festgestellt, dass das Kartenmodul nur eine graue Fläche anzeigt, wobei beim Aufstart von LrC ganz kurz eine Weltkarte eingeblendet wird. In der Folge habe ich den Tipp aus der Fehlerbehebung, bekannte Probleme, d.h. zu den häufig auftretenden Problemen mit Lightroom Classic 14.x (rsp. 14.2), mehrmals durchgeführt, jedoch immer ohne Erfolg.

 

Nun meine Frage: Was mache ich falsch? Was müsste ich noch machen, dass ich die Karte im LrC wieder benutzen kann?

Go to the Grid in LrC. Then shut down LrC. Then re-open LrC. Does the map show properly now?

Es funktioniert immer noch nicht.

Today I switched my computer to Windows 11. Everything worked fine, but there is now no map in Lightroom 14.2. But I'm not sure if the error was already there in Windows 10. I've already reset Lightroom's defaults. But that didn't help.

Do these steps:

 

1. Go to the Library module.

2. Exit LR.

3. Start LR.

4. Go to Map.

 

Is the map visible?

Inspiring

Yes, I did all of that. Multiple times. I've already reset the defaults. Lightroom works fine, only the map is black, as if the connection to Google Maps is lost. However, Google Maps can be easily accessed in the browser.
