In addition, other areas of the map may appear as very low resolution (see the area below the grey square in the second image).

The last update for Lightroom 5 was 5.7.1 but it will not affect your Map module issue.

What is the Price for an update from 5 to 6? Or can you only buy subscriptions to CC now?

Maps module says that it is offline. Am online, not through a proxy server.
Only get satellite view. Am running version 5.7.1 on a 64 bit windows pc.

"Google made some changes on their servers, which required a Lightroom update to get map working properly again. Lightroom 5 is no longer shipping software, so it won't get the update. The current version is working correctly."

Kaart is offline, ondanks goede internetverbinding en dat Google Maps werkt. LR 5.7 volledig bijgewerkt. Slechts één afbeelding op satlite-kaart, een andere kaart is grijs met de track erop en foto's. Wat kan ik doen om dit te bestellen? Win 10, Intel moederbord, ingebouwde grafische kaart, Windows Defender, Linksys router windows firewall Email: andre.deschildre@telenet.be Sorry voor mijn slechte engels, vertaling van Nederlands naar Engels

It's September and I still have this issue, behaving identically to the way it's behaved for 3 or 4 months.
My version of CC2015 (Windows 10) is CC 2015.6 [ 1078672 ] .
I am on the monthly plan & payments are up to date. Do I have the current version, if so despite what's stated it is not fixed.
(BTW I check for an update but no update is available to me for Lightroom, only Photoshop & Bridge)

That's an old version prior to the fix for Map -- update to 2015.12. If the menu command Help > Updates doesn't do it, you can download the 2015.12 manually: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-downloads.html

"Map is Offline" makes the Map module unusable. I just got back from Europe and I'd like to map my 1000 photos while I still remember them. Please fix this - it is extremely aggravating.

If your files are jpeg I think there are many ways to geotag them, Google, your phone, ...
For Adobe it just seems they want you to all the time by new versions of their SW until you get so tired of it you just by and expensive subcription instead. Not very nice.

My workaround for this issue with LR 6.12 (just on a side note: this had been reported also to Adobe Support but despite collecting and submitting data more than 1 month ago - there has been absolute silence to repeated emails): go back to library and then go back to maps, the map should again update for a few moments or manipulations before freezing again; repeat this as often as needed.
I found this same issue also with the new LR classic CC but the update from yesterday seems to have resolved this issue... fingers crossed.

There is still a discounted upgrade available, if you don't want to move to subscription, and those upgrade fees pay for Lightroom to continue to work with external changes, such as new operating systems and changes on other people's servers.

I purchased the upgrade to find that the problem persisted, although it was not as severe. The off line periods were frequent enough to be frustrating, without making the module quite unusable.
This is disappointing from a well established company like Adobe,

What do you mean with "really expensive"? I bet you'll have a hard time to find a piece of your photo gear that had a lower price tag ... and the software part nowadays is as much a part of a photo-chain as the camera or a lens.

Giving adobe more money because their software is broken doesn't sit well but its relatively easy to work round. If it's real gps coordinates you want to add e.g a gpx track from an android phone or a Garmin unit then the link above is for you. If you are faking it then open the files in finder and use another application to add the gps locations.
Exiftool will write anything you need it too. There are a number of projects that use it to actually write to the raw file.

is a very simple logger for gpx on android , simple as start stop and pause. I go somewhere i start this on my phone and go take photos , most often i'm at home before i remember to turn it off :) but transfer the gpx file to your computer and jeffs gps lightroom plugin will attach the gps data to your photos and give real world locations too. these can be used at different levels to pull up photos in lightroom e.g ireland would do any irish photo county cork just photos in county cork and you can view in google earth or other maps..

Let us know.
Thanks,
