Thank you for your answer.

    Hello,

     

    to give a conclusion to our discussion,

    the answer to the problem I have is not technical ... but political !!!!!  Segregation ?

    When I use reverse geocoding with Lightroom 6.9 for a European country, or for Tel Aviv in Israel, reverse geocoding works.

    When I use it for towns in Palestine (like Ramallah) it is not working.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Haven't worked with it, but used others from Jeffrey like the Geoencoding.

    I observe the same thing. 

    It appears this limitation is a Google policy (Google provides the mapping for LR):

    Status: Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)

    In disputed areas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes), geocoding results have no country (and sometimes no administrative_area_level_1). Reverse geocoding for disputed areas returns no results.  [Emphasis added]

    As a practical matter, Adobe probably has little influence over this Google policy -- Google generally does what it wants to do regardless of customer desires. But you could file a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum: Photoshop Lightroom | Photoshop Family Customer Community . (This forum is primarily user-to-user, in which Adobe product developers rarely participate.)

    Has been renamed to Address Lookup, and can also be paused/accessed over the Activity center (identity plate).

    Basic setting should be in Catalog settings / Metadata.

    Thank you for the answer.

    In identity plate, adress lookup is "on". And in Catalog settings/Metadata position is also on.

    But no suggestion for address, location, etc.

    Have you another idea ?

    Thanks.

    What is the source of the GeoData/Coordinates?

    Does it show in the correct format under GPS in the metadata panel?
