Lightroom: Map module keeps flashing "map offline" when it's not

Thanks Rikk. Works again - what a relief.

Works well here.

I have Lightroom 5.7.1. Will there be an update to solve the map issue for this version?

Lightroom 5.7.1 will receive no further updates. 

These are not updates, they are called bug fixes!!! Treat your customers with respect!

Still having this annoying problem.

Does anyone actually look at this this bug?

Yep, still having this issue. Why is it taking so long to fix it?

Yes, still going. Email notification of the thread comments has stopped too. Driving me nuts.

I am still having map problems after the July 2017 update. Now when I zoom in on the map, blank grey boxes appear on the map, sometimes with "sorry no imagery here" written on them, and the map zooms back out.  This is in Hybrid and Satellite mode, the road map mode works properly. 

Still having this problem .. anybody listening?

Pete, there is plenty of feedback now that the problem is NOT related to a specific computer system nor LR version. Can you please take action and contact Google for verification if their server acts up and give us feedback? Thanks in advance.

Indeed, i'm having it on both Windows 10 creators update as MacOS 10.12.5. On both machines it appears with the latest LR update.

Pete, you seem to be the only Adobe person taking any note of this issue.  This is a serious problem for many of us.  Can you provide some update on the status of an Adobe response.

I would like to copy all of the above. The issue is so widely discused that it seems (at the least) a matter of ignorance to scale this down to a personal and individual issue.
Since some two years every "update" comes along with new bugs. That's not what I know from  my long Adobe-past ... Over a decade you produced solid and stable software with new features in every yearly upgrade. With the big business succes, those days seem to be over.  That the newest Version still has "2015" in it is a good indication, that real progress stopped and since then updates are merely bug-fixes, introducing new bugs every time. 
So stop asking "standard questions" and start doing your job properly!!
If I as a photographer and designer would deliver that way to my customers, I would have been long out of business by now ...

And as a photographer you shouldn't require Lightroom because your photos would be perfect out of camera.
Why does every little hiccup bring out the trolls? 

Same problem here with Mac OS Sierra 12.4 and LR CC 2016 2015.10 Everytime I resize or move the map in map module I get a 3 second blacked out map and an error window Map Offline and then map is back to work. It all started 3 days ago out of the blue. Please research and fix. Its very annoying.

Same issue on Sierra 12.5 .. map flash for a second, no way to zoom very close and this message flashing with grey world map

I have the same configuration and same problem (and indeed very annoying)

I've tried completely reinstalling LR (letting it trash preferences).  Doesn't solve the problem.  So I don't think it's a cache related issue.

I agree. Problem occured on iMac and MBP at the same time about 5 days ago. Both on the latest OS. Both LR 6.10.1. Problem started when on LR 6.8. Upgraded in the hope that that would cure it, but no.

Problem solved with tonights Lightroom update (July 19. 2017)
THANKS!
