Lightroom 4.4 .gpx files in Map Module

I have a Garmin Montana 600 GPS. When I attempt to import a .GPX tracklog from my GPS into the map module of Lightroom an error window pop's up on the screen and the file is not imported. Any suggestions?

  • Lightroom 4.2: Wrong time in map module

    In Lightroom 4.2 I use the map module in the following way:
    1. Load a gpx-Track
    2. Select one or all tracks
    3. Select the photos to be tagged
    4. Select the correct time zone shift (normally the time interval of the track contains the time interval of the photos)
    5. Tag the selected photos
    Now all photos are tagged correctly. But there is one small bug:
    moving the mouse along the track displayed in the map does not show the local time including the time zone shift but the UTC without time shift. This is somewhat confusing. I think this bug should be removable easyly.
    Best regards

  • Lightroom CC: In the Map module, why is the Map Tracklog"Auto-Tag Photos" choice inactive?

    In the Lightroom CC Map module, the "Auto-Tag Photos" choice in the Main Menu > Map > Tracklog submenu is inactive (grayed out) when I try to tag GPS metadata from a tracklog to a selected photo. However, for the same tracklog and selected photo, the Auto-Tag 1 Selected Photo choice in the tracklog menu in the Toolbar is active and I can successfully tag the photo with GPS metadata from the tracklog using it. (Lightroom CC (2015) running on Mac OS X, Ver. 10.10.3). Can someone tell me why this might be?

    Auto-tag greyed out - solution
    1. Click on Start(Windows)+R in your Windows 8computer to open the Run Dialog box.
    2. Type %appdata% in the Run Dialog box and hit enter.
    3. Open the Adobe folder.
    4. Open the Lightroom folder.
    5. Open the Preferences folder.
    6. And rename the file Lightroom 5 preferences.agprefs to Lightroom 5 preferences.agprefs.old
    7. reopen the Lightroom and check if your  issue has resolved.

  • Lightroom 5.2 map module not displaying maps

    I am having all sorts of problems with Lightroom 5.2 and wish I'd just stayed with Lightroom 4. I've already posted about not being able to import directly from an SD card in my laptops reader, and have at least found a work around to that (copy files to hard drive them import - I see others have found the same thing and it works just fine).
    Now I have realised that the map screen in the map module is blank. I had this problem initially with Lightroom 5, and then it seemed to resolve itself. It is refusing to resolve itself in Lightroom 5.2 however. I've searched on the web for similar problems, and have found some responses to blank map screens in Lightroom 4, but they are so technical I haven't got a clue where to start trying to follow them.
    So, I am a simple soul who needs a simple answer. I am using LR 5.2 on an HP laptop running Windows 7. In the map module, where I already have GPS data (from a Canon EOS 6D) it is displayed in the metadata, and the little pop up box shows the number of photos at selected locations etc. But the central map screen is black. If I search, the screen stays black although it appears as though it has gone to the location. The Navigator screen is blank too.  And yes, I am connected to the internet and LR5.2 seems to be able to find the internet (I checked by going into the web module).
    Can anyone help me please. I like to put GPS locations on my photos prior to upload to Flickr, and whereas they are there from photos from my 6D, they don't exist for photos taken on my Canon Powershot.

    A work-around that I am using is to run Lightroom as an administrator on my Windows 7 system (right-click on the icon and choose run as administrator).  Everything then works ok.  I also needed to run as an administrator to be able to update some plug-ins I was using.  I fixed the plug-in update issues by changing the permissions on plug-ins folder.  I suspect that it is a similar issue with the maps.
    I have not figured out what folder or files need to have the permissions altered to stop Lightroom from working in the unelevated state but if someone reading this knows please share.  I saw some posts related to the same issue but on Macs but the Windows configuration is different.

  • HT6114 help! since moving to Mavericks i am unable to save *.gpx files when using online mapping - this did not occur with Mt Lion and is highly annoying - the mapping product is SATMAP which i have used on PCs for several years -

    I have used Satmap online mapping for several years on a PC
    Now moved to Mac and all was ok until i moved to Mavericks!!
    I can no longer save *.GPX files to the Mac - it appears to do everything except actually saving the file
    Any ideas before i have to buy another PC would be helpful
    This is using Safari I have also tried Firefox all software is up to date
    this is on my Imac and Macbook Pro both 2013

  • Why is the "Lightroom Help"(F1) and the "Map Module" Offline?

    I ask because everything requiring Internet connection thru Lightroom appears fine, such as the Web Module! There is nothing wrong with my Home Network nor any usage of the Internet, except when it comes to the Map Module and contacting "Lightroom Help"(F1) from the HELP Menu within Lightroom! I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years without encountering this issue and am baffled as to how to address solving it. Any input would be appreciated!

    This is a well-known issue with Lightroom. Lots of adjustment brush usage on a particular photo will cause high CPU usage.
    If you need to do a lot of brushing, you may be better off doing these tasks in Photoshop.
    By the way, I have no idea what SSBOD means, I have never seen that acronym before.

  • Lightroom 5.7 Map module so slow it is almost useless

    I've used iPhoto and Aperture a lot but because Apple are withdrawing these programs soon apparently, I decided to upgrade to Lightroom.  Everything else works fine, but the map section is just so slow.  The map layers take far too long to download.  My internet connection is 8 Mbit broadband.  I'm upgrading to fibre optic later this week, so I'll see if that makes any difference - but I see no reason why it should.

    you can´t change folders from inside the MAP module
    Yeah, you can't change folders in a number of the modules.  However, the Any Source plugin lets you do that.
    GEOSETTER has many more features and is my preferred tool for tagging
    Mine too.

  • Why doesn't the Map module work with Lightroom 5.6 on OSX Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the Map module won't display the roads or satellite images with Lightroom 5.6.  Sometimes it will download a small portion of the imagery but then it just displays the message "No imagery available".  If I try and zoom in all I get is a blank view.
    It's nothing to do with my internet connection as Google Maps in Safari comes up instantly.

    Adobe acknowledged this problem some months ago in the official Adobe feedback forum, but it still hasn't been addressed:

  • Lightroom LR4 - Map Module - Sticky mouse

    Lightroom LR4 - Map Module - Sticky mouse  Hi folks.  When using the mouse to pan the map, the map sticks to the mouse for a while even when you release the button. This means you can pan teh map to a new location, release the mouse and the map continues to pan where you subsequently move the mouse to.  Note: this does not happen with Google maps in the browser, so a problem with LR.  Its' highly annoying to pan the map and then hold the mouse still for 2 or 3 seconds to avoid the map moving

    Anyone?

  • Lightroom Map Module

    I opened the Map Module in LR 5.3 and LR stopped working.  I have tried shutting the program down and restarting and also completely shutting the PC down and restarting and nothing will work.  LR starts and I can not close the module before the same notification comes up telling me that LR has stopped working.  I need help

    Apparent Solution Found: Apparently the Beta release of the Mac OS update is fixing this. Review the recent posts at this link.  Lightroom: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

  • Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.

    Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
    As stated, every time I move the map with the mouse or zoom the map using any method the map blinks into "offline" condition to redraw. This is not only annoying but drastically slows down work flow.
    How can this be stopped?
    Macbook Pro 2010 i7 8GB RAM
    Thanks,

    To see what I see, turn off your internet by shutting off your wireless card or disconnecting your ethernet if hard wired. The map will turn into a grey full-earth map and have the note "map is offline."
    Woody 77 may be correct but the problem follows me from location to location and happens when others are getting no problems at all.
    I was wondering if there was some form of optimizing I could do to improve performanc. Perhaps I am having a problem with my airport card.

  • Lightroom 4 Map Module Is Blank

    I upgraded from LR3 to LR4 yesterday and was excited to dive into the Map module. Unfortunately, the map seems to be blank. I have selected an image with GPS information. The Map module correctly looks up the location of the photo (Magdalena, New Mexico). This seems like a rendering bug.
    Update 1
    Just to check, I installed LR4 onto another OS X 10.6.8 machine that had not previously had Lightroom and imported the same picture. The Map module worked correctly. So, I tried re-installing LR4 on the original machine. Unfortunately, it still does not work. I tried creating a new catalog and backing up and then deleting all preferences. The map is still blank...
    I am open to suggestions so long as they don't involve re-installing the OS, as I just did a fresh install yesterday on this machine and therefore highly doubt that will accomplish anything other than wasting my time.
    I am open to all sorts of alternatives, including but not limited to:
    Running dtrace to look at library calls
    attaching XCode to debug (though I would assume all the objects have been stripped), or
    Starting up a WebDialogs/WebEx/VNC/TeamViewer/etc server for a dev to pry around on it or debug with XCode. Of course a debuggable build would greatly help with this.
    Update 2
    More defect info.
    I created a new user on the system that is failing, started LR4, created a new catalog, imported the test photo, changed to Map module--still blank. Something on this particular system is causing the rendering failure.
    So I figured what the heck, just to make sure, why don't I copy over the LR4 app from the system that is working. Still a blank map...
    My next thought was that perhaps it was an issue with the non-accelerated graphics. So I disabled the graphics switching. Still a blank map...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks juckehu. You nailed the problem. I really appreciate you coming up with this solution.
    As a programmer who develops software for all UNIX flavors, Mac OS X, and Windows, I find this not working on a case-sensitive filesytem behaviour to be rather ridiculous. I would be ashamed if my tools didn't work correctly because of something like this. Someone folks should be very embarassed, as from some searches I ran it seems like this issue has been around for a long time and with other Adobe products. So, apparently I now get to revert my Mac back to a Windows-esque case-insenstive filesystem. What a way to spend a Friday.

  • Can not drag and drop photos in Lightroom 4 map module

    In Lightroom4 map module, I can not drag and drop photos onto the map from the filmstrip? I select the photos, and then try and grabbing them to drop them on the map and when I click on one of the pictures to grab, it deselects the others I've selected and only hightlights the one photo,  ironically, I can not even drop the one photo onto the map.

    Thank you Victoria.  I thought I was grabbing it on the thumbnail, but I must not have been, I must have been as you said on the border.  Sorry. 
    Thank you again for the help.

  • Map module not finding photos from track log

    I have created GPX files on my phone, loaded them into the map module and selected the corresponding photos. When I select "Auto-tag selected photos" from the pop-up menu where I loaded the track I get an error saying "No Matching Photos" I have checked the track data and the times of the photos and they do match - the track runs from 12:32 to 4:37 on 9-13-2012 and the photos were all taken within this time frame. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

    I had the same problem, and I've found the solution.
    In short:
    Lightroom expects that the times in a .GPX file are in GMT/UTC. It applies the time offset for your local computer to determine the time of the tracklog. As of Lightroom 4.2, it doesn't handle time offsets (as in "+1200") embedded in GPX files. For example, I shot photos recently using the (excellent) SkiRoute16 GPS logger app on my iPhone, then exported to a GPX file. Because London was in summer time, SkiRoute16 appended the offset to the locations:
    </trkpt>
    <trkpt lat="41.54921491494658" lon="-0.06738643106430209">
    <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40+0100</time>
    </trkpt>
    How do I know if my GPX file has offsets embedded?
    If you load a tracklog into the Map module and hover over the tracklog, you should see timestamp tooltips appear. If not, it's probably because there are offsets in the GPX file.
    How do I fix it?
    If your Lightroom PC, photos, and GPX file are all in the same timezone, then you should be able to simply remove the offset. A GPX file is just an XML file, so you can use Notepad, TextWrangler, or whatever to open it. Use find-and-replace to replace the offset with nothing. That is, replace "+0100" with "" - the <time> elements should now look like this:
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Save the GPX file as a new file (don't overwrite the original, just in case things go wrong). Try loading it into Lightroom and see if it works.
    If your Lightroom PC is in a different timezone to the GPX data
    ...Then you'll have do some additional fiddling after removing the offsets:
    Find the time offset of your PC or Mac. For example, I'm in New Zealand and so my time offset right now is +1300.
    Work out what offset to use. In my case, the pictures were taken around 9:30a.m:
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Lightroom's going to assume this is GMT/UTC and add thirteen hours to this (because that's the time offset of my laptop).
    This means I need to subtract 13 hours, which will actually takes the timestamps back to the previous day. 9am on 25 October needs to become 8pm on 24 October:
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Needs to become:
         <time>2012-09-24T20:26:40</time>
    First, I'll change the day by doing a find-and-replace on "2012-09-25" and replace it with "2012-09-24":
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Becomes:
         <time>2012-09-24T09:26:40</time>
    Now, I replace the time portion, again using find-and-replace to replace "T09" with "T20":
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Becomes thirteen hours earlier:
         <time>2012-09-24T20:26:40</time>
    Once this is done, save the file (again, save as a different filename. Playing with these offsets took me several attempts, and you don't want to overwrite your original GPX file). Then try re-importing the tracklog and see how you go.
    Phew!

  • Map Module Discrepancies / Syncing Camera time to GPS Logger

    The Map Module of LR5 lets us use the Set Time Zone Offset to account for the fact that you may not have reset the time on your camera when you crossed time zones. For that purpose, it works well.
    But what about an equally common occurrence – the camera time is a minute, two, or three out of sync with the GPS time? That doesn’t seem like much, but in my test a photo of my house showed to be taken 2 or 3 houses down the street. That is not a big deal until you’re photographing something like an ancient temple in Cambodia where you don’t have a known reference point. The Map Module does not allow you to adjust for this. How do you get everything to show up right in the Map Module, and have it geotag your photos correctly?
    This requires synchronizing the camera time with the GPS track logger device (not the computer) to get the minutes and seconds right. What’s the best way to do that? Here are some thoughts.
    Before leaving for your shoot, synchronize the time in your camera to a website with the correct time, like www.time.gov. This is the simplest and easiest if you remember to do it. I tested and it works. Set your camera time to 30 seconds ahead of the current time, and put your cursor on OK. Then as the website counts down to the time you set, simply hit OK and you’ll be right on.
    If you forget to do that, there is another alternative. At the beginning of your shoot, press the POI or waypoint button on the data logger while simultaneously taking a photo. Compare the POI time stamp to the photo metadata to get an adjustment time. Then use Edit Capture Time in the Library Module to apply the adjustment time to all the photo metadata. In my GPX file the waypoints or POIs appeared with a <name> entry when viewed by Notepad. You can ignore the hours in the time entry and focus only on the minutes and seconds.
    If you use a GPS device with a screen rather than a data logger (I don’t because of expense and bulk) then take a photo of the screen and later compare that time to the metadata time to get the adjustment time.
    Finally, if you find out after the fact that you didn’t do any of these, here’s a work-around.
    Find a photo that you can locate precisely on the map based on its contents. Roll the mouse cursor over the track log in the Map Module at the point where you know you took the photo. That is the time that should be on the photo. Compare that to the time actually in the photo Metadata and you’ll see what the time adjustment should be. Use that in the Library Module to edit the capture time. Using several photos if you can to get an average is best.
    If your shoot doesn’t contain a photo for which you can precisely identify the location, go out in front of your hotel or guesthouse, walk an identifiable route, and shoot a photo at an identifiable location where you can. Unless your camera time has drifted substantially, that should be close enough.
    If you’ve already applied the GPS data to the photos before correcting, simply select them all, and delete the GPS coordinates in the Metadata panel. You can autotag again in Map Module after you’ve adjusted the time.
    These solutions seem to work.
    What additional thoughts, comments, or solutions would you like to add?
