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 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.

LR4 Map Module Question

Suppose, in the Library Module, I select 10 different images. Then, I want to see a map that shows only those 10 — at an appropriate zoom level, so if I have photos in Australia and North America selected, I want to see the map zoomed out and showing both Australia and North America.
How do I get to this map, after I select the 10 different images in the Library Module?

They are opposite sides of the globe paige! You need to be in map module. Then drag the slider completely left for the world map.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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?

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 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)

LR4 Offline -Map Module etc

I'm at a loss, been using Lightroom for past 3yrs with no network problems but recently when attempting to use the Map Module I am receiving a Lightroom Error stating that the Map is "Offline" and to check your network connection? My Mac Pro is connected to everything throughout my Network with no problems except for the LR connection. I'm unable to trace to any past installation of any Apps or Software, it just appeared out of the blue a couple of weeks ago. As stated, any and all apps and software requesting a network connection to the Internet or Home Network connects without any issue-all EXCEPT LR 4!
Anyone who may have heard of this issue and may have a suggestion as to how to address this mystery would be greatly appreciated. I'm totally baffled!

I have issues with tha Map module in LR 4.2 as well. My internet connection is fine, but I get a flashing world map and message "Map Offline" every time Google Maps are not updating instantly but have a response time of more than half a second. This sometimes happens several times a minute. This is extremely annoying and I would consider this a bug. Can the time-out for detecting that maps really are offline due to no internet connection being available be increased somehow?
PS: Sorry for the stupid screen name, but I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes receiving error messages saying that all sensible names were unavaible.
