Lightroom: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

Mark, Dave and Martin i bow to your knowledge thank you saves me a lot of hassle looking, have any of you considered re installing Mavericks i admit it really annoys me 2 of the largest companies and they can't save this seems crazy

Cheers

Just to add to the above, the longer you leave the Maps module 'loading' the bigger these numbers get! After 2 minutes they are 10Mb and 48Mb respectively. The screen shot above was after just a few seconds of Maps 'loading'.

It seems that there are some issues with the google maps statistics. Simply open the console.app and filter for lightroom. It shouldn't be to hard to fix...

Just a thought guys

my thread is

If you each add as following maybe adobe will look and i have asked in that thread that look here again least it may get a look from Adobe

I think it would help if everyone experiencing this problem would report back the following:

- Open the "Console" app and see if you are getting the same "HTML Trace" messages that Jan Freuer observed two posts above.

- Open Activity Monitor and report on the Data Received/Sec and Data Sent/Sec. Several people have observed that data sent (uploads) is unusually large.

I get exactly the same error:

A parse error on map.googleapis.com

Not sure tried load what i think from console

This is quite bizarre. We have a major company, an acknowledged bug for 3 months and complete, utter, stony silence from the company.

I have to say I am struggling to see what Adobe's game plan is here. It certainly isn't going to keep them in pole position. Real shame, because Lightroom is a very nice piece of software. But 5/6 of Lightroom for 12 weeks isn't. Especially when a bunch of users appear to have located the problem.

It's the silence which is annoying.

I totally agree Mark, Adobe's silence on this is both bizarre and unacceptable.

What are they so scared of? They should have broad enough shoulders to at least acknowledge the issue. Very disappointing from a company that actually charges a lot for their software which I am happy to pay when it works!!

I have just left Trustpilot review of LR and asked that trust pilot forward this onto adobe maybe they will read that

Dear Mr Adobe,

I don't think you're reading this. And I don't think you're going to fix this quickly, despite the fact that you have known about it for three months.

As a last-ditch attempt to get going again, I'm going to install LR in my parallels Windows 8.1 partition and try it there. If it barfs about licensing issues, I think I'll probably go off my trolley. I assume this is ok with you?

But, to be honest, I'd much rather Lightroom actually worked on the Mac.

How totally bizarre! I will experiment later......

I recently upgraded my desktop and laptop to OSX 10.10 and now find the Maps section of Lightroom 5.6 crippled. On both of my machines the maps either fail to load, load partially (missing tiles), or load very slowly (~15 minutes).

I rely on the Maps section and geotagging for my work. Please attend to this issue, which I understand has been known for three months now.

Help!

Mark

I tried your 'solution' and sadly it did not work for me, however I use VMWare not Parallels, maybe that is the difference?

The only thing that consistently works for me is plugging my iPad that has 4G (15mbs download and 5mbs upload) and using it as a usb hotspot, a Map Module works absolutely fine then!

We are still investigating this, but no solid leads yet as to what changed in 10.10 to upset this, sorry. I'd appreciate hearing what video cards are in the systems that are running into this, because we're finding it inconsistent across hardware but haven't found the pattern yet.
