Lr 5.3 Map Module Blank

The OS is Windows 7/64, just upgraded from Lr v5.2 to Lr v5.3, now the Map Module is not responding. The other modules work well.
Connected to high speed, 11m, cable internet. Google Earth works well as does Internet Explorer.
Re installed Lr v5.3 to no avail.
It appears that Lr is not connecting to the internet for the Map Module data.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks

It seems to be a problem with memory corruption. Restarting the computer makes it right (temporarily). I keep my computer running without restarting until something requires me to, and I've never had this problem before.

LR 5.5 Map Module blank / black

Just tried to go into the map module for the first time since updating to the latest LR release on OSX 10.9.5 - but it's blank. Not white, no error - just blank.
Permissions are set properly on the flash player folder, and there's no antivirus installed. I'm on a case-insensitive file system (and it worked in the previous version just fine. No firewalls blocking access, and the internet works.
Any ideas?

Well, it seems like no one has any ideas.
The good news is that sometimes I can get it to seemingly work -- meaning that in LR the screen looks okay, but not always. Makes me concerned about ordering a Blurb book though because I don't know if what I get will be totally screwed up.

Map lost in map module - just wite blank window. How to fix it?

Happened few weeks ago, before worked well. Neither search works. No warning/error messages. Just blank map window. Any idea how to fix it?
Using version 4.0.
Thanks a lot for any hint, I miss the map as it is a very cool feature for me.

Does this knowledge-base article help?

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.

Map does not show in Map Module

I'm using Lightroom 5.4 on a Max 10.9.3. The map does not display in the Map Module. All I get is a blank screen. At on point I briefly saw the message the Map is Offline, with a map of the world, but then it said Map was Online and all I have is the blank screen. Can you help, please?

Do you have Lightroom installed on a case-senstive partition? See here for more details and troubleshooting:

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.

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

Map Module annoyances

I've been using the Map Module quite a bit to add GPS co-ords to old pictures taken before I began tracking my locations via GPS--so I have no tracklogs to use, otherwise I'd just use Jeffrey's plug-in. In my use of the Map Module I've come across a few annoyances and wonder if any other users have experienced any of them and/or knows of a 'fix'.
My typical work flow is to select a few--up to a few hundred--photos using a filter in the Library module or at times a smart collection. I then activate the Map Module and select multiple images taken at the same location and drag those images to the map to geo-encode them. The geo-encoding goes well and most of the 'Time and Place' fields are set with the text being light grey. The text for the GPS value is set to full brightness.
The 'annoyances':
1. For the 'Time and Place' metadata to become 'active' each item (City, State/Province, etc.) label must be clicked on and the current greyed location selected by clicking on the proper value in the pop-up that appears when the label is clicked. The problem is that if I have more than a few images selected--so I can set the 'Time and Place' information for all of them at once--after entering the first item, say for example City, all of the entries will go blank for a few seconds and then re-appear with City now non-grey and active. Sometimes the other entries remain greyed out and sometimes they totally disappear and I have to remember the spelling, etc., of the blank item and manually type it in for the pop-up does not always contain the entry that disappeared. Sometimes this 'flashing' of the metadata fields happens more than once per entry. Major annoyance.
2. When manually entering an entry because it became blank when setting a different field the metadata entries will blank out while I am typing and the characters I am typing are then interpreted as command characters for LR proper, not as entries in the text box I'm trying to type into. This is not acceptable behavior. Sometimes the sequence of letters when interpreted as commands to LR can really muck things up.
In 1&2 it is as if the program is writing the changed data to the catalog for every image. While this write operation is taking place the data in the right panel is blanked and the focus changed from an item in the right panel to the main LR window.
One other observation, since LR 4.0 was released with the Map Module I've had a few dozen crashes. Every single one of them has happened while working in the Map Module. I've never had LR 4.x crash at any other time.
It is my belief that the Map Module is poorly written and in need of major bug fixes.
My system is a mid-2010 27" i7 iMac @ 2.93 GHz and 16 GB DRAM. I have over 600 GB remaining on my system drive. My raw cache files reside on an external drive connected via FW800 which has over 1.5TB free. I am using Lion (OS X 10.7.3) and the system was installed fresh, not an update from Snow Leopard.
Ideas anyone?

I'm currently doing something similar, and I too noticed the weird behaviour when trying to 'commit' the location entries in the Map module. They way I now do it (with all photographs in the filmstrip) is click on one of the placemarks on the map, this will automatically select all the images with that same location. Jump to Library (all the selected photographs stay selected, although they may not all appear in the grid....but 'most' selected will), use the metadata panel to 'commit' (or amend) the location data for the most selected image, then sync metadata (location data only). This updates all the selected images with the same location. Return to Map and pick another placemark and repeat.
Thanks for the input. This usually 'works' but sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't the flash occurs even in the Library module. However, it is much better than trying to do it in the Map Module with all images selected.
Note that the Map Module also has a 'Sync Metadata' button so it isn't necessary to return to the Library Module. Selecting a single image from the group, commit it, then click on the icon to select all images followed by clicking on the Sync Metadata button.
It is still an anoyance and makes the software seem to be somewhat less than a 'Professional' level application. I hope Adobe can find and fix these kinds of issues, but I won't hold my breath as I'm sure they have more pressing issues to solve.

How do I search and work in the map module without losing my selection

I'm going through my old photographs that predate geotracking and adding my best guess as to their locations via the map module but I'm getting frustrated.
My biggest angst is the selections. In the library module, I look around and find a set of photographs that were taken at the same place and I select them. I then go to the map module and move found, sometimes search, for the place where the photographs were taken. Now, I go back to drop the selection into the map and ... OH NO!!! .. there is no selection. Double angst is I click back in Library and I'm scrolled all the way to the start of my group of photographs.
Deselecting the photos is the biggest UI mistake that Lightroom is making in this sequence. I'm wondering if there is something that I can do to either prevent it or perhaps have a second method of a quick temporary group of photographs.
The other related question I have is if anyone has a suggestion of how to mark these photos as the type of GPS information. e.g. it could come from the camera, it could come via a track log, or it could be just my best guess. Perhaps that is already possible to determine.

When you find the photos you want that were taken in a single location, select them and put them in a Quick Collection (press B)
Then select the Quick Collection and go to the Map Module with the filmstrip turned on. You will then be able to work ONLY with this set of photos that are taken in one location

No Un-ambiguous Selection of Mapping Module (above one) for BUPA_MAIN BDocs

Hi All
I seem to have hit a snag here. I am trying to replicate customers from CRM to ERP but am getting these two errors:
Main error: Partially send, receivers have errors.
No un-ambiguous selection of mapping module (above one) for BDoc type 3932399B34D6279BE10000000A11449E.
Service that caused the error: SMW3OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS._
I have searched on Googleand SDN but have come up with nothing as far as these errors are concerned. We have managed to replicate Business Partners, Materials and Conditions from ERP to CRM without any problems but when it cam e to replicating back, these errors started popping up.
I have used all the tools for analysis but have come up with nothing the really suggest to me what is wrong. I have monitored queues, traces and dumps. I have played around with the filter setting and all.
With regards to the process itself, i followed the C03 best practices config guide and i believe that i have everything in place. Here are the steps i followed:
1.Create an Internal number range for the CRM customer group.
2. Assigned the number range to the Customer group
3. Created a corresponding number range (External) in ERP and a corresponding CRM Customer account group as a copy of the standard 0001 Sold-to-party account group and assigned the number range to it.
4. Defined Partner functions (SP, SH, BP, and PY) for the account group
5. I mapped the CRM classification for customers (B) to the created account group (CRM Customer)
6. I synchrponized the fields for the account group created and the BP roles in CRM including changes on a per client (BUPA) basis.
7. I redowloaded all the cutomizing objects (though i only needed the DNL_CUST_KTOKD) for the sake of the mappings directly in CRM or R/3 Account group maintenance during the creation of the BP.
8. I customized the filter settings in BUPA_MAIN and included the BUT100 table for the filetring of the customers who were created as SP, BP, PY, or SHand who belonged to the Customer group we had created. (BUT000->BU_GROUP & BUT100->RLTYP) for source site CRM.
9. Activated the necessary function modules through transactions COM_BUPA_CALL_FU in ERP and CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU in CRM according to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crmscen70/helpdata/en/60/85b5d333f4174b8e982c1c15db35f3/frameset.htm]
10. Using transaction R3AS i sought to replicate the BUPA_MAIN object.
Because of the few customers created in CRM, it only executes within a single block so the queues would be empty by the time SMQ1 and SMQ2 are executed. R3AM1 shows it as running. SMW01 shows the above error.
When creating a BP through the tx code BP, the main error would be Technical error(Incomplete) and the two other errors as mentionme above would also be there
Is there anyone out there who has met this very same problem or knows the solution to this.
Thanks in advance.

We managed to get a solution to the problem. Here it goes:
When a new adapter object (e.g a custom one) is created, the SMOFOBJECT table is populated with the entry and, in turn, the SMOFUPLMAP is populated with the object and the mapping module for uploading to R/3. During the upload process, a search for custom mapping modules is done and if not found the standard mapping modules are used. However, and it seems weird since it seems as if it applies to the BUPA_MAIN object or the corresponding mapping module (BUPA_MWX_BDOC_UPLOAD_MAIN_R3), there has to be a one-to-one mapping between an mapping module and adapter object.
I had created a custom adapter object (Z_BUPA_MAIN) to which I wanted to put some custom filters and did not want to test with the standard object. So two objects using the same mapping module ended up existing in the SMOFUPLMAP table (one-to-many mapping). The function module in which this happens is the GET_UPL_FUNCTION_FOR_OBJ.
So the solution would be to delete the object if it is not needed or to maintain the SMOFUPLMAP table to remove the entry. When you delete the object, it sometimes does not automatically/subsequently remove the entry in SMOFUPLMAP, so manual maintenance has to be done or the same object has to be recreated and have the mapping module allocated. After this, the problem would be solved. What is weird to me is that the only one-to-one mapping is allowed. I created a custom object for the download of conditions and I did not get that error. So it means that in this case you would have to copy the mapping module and create a custom one for the custom object.

Imported mapping in template mapping module still runs against old location

Hello,
I imported the mapping in a new workspace (located in other server) using object names strategy, and I reconfigured the location source (it's a generic one) it uses.
Looking at the mapping Configure menu / Table operators / Location I see the correct location I want to use.
The template mapping module has the only data location Default Agent.
I have synchronized several times with the inbound repository table information, and redeploy the mapping, but it still goes to the old location, that has been unregistered / deleted in the current repository.
I don't know how to make the mapping runs against the location I want to. Please, help me
Thank you

Hi Alexander
After copying a table to a different module, edit the module to set the data location, configure the module to define the location and synchronize the mapping to use this table.
In OMB to synchronize inbound and outbound use OMBSYNCHRONIZE command
Inbound:
OMBSYNCHRONIZE TABLE '$OMB_CURRENT_PROJECT/SALES/TABY' TO MAPPING 'M_W_PARAMS' OPERATOR 'TABY' USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME')
Outbound:
OMBSYNCHRONIZE MAPPING 'M_W_PARAMS' OPERATOR 'TABX' TO TABLE '$OMB_CURRENT_PROJECT/SALES/TABX' USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME')
Cheers

How to debug mapping module of a Adapter Object

I have created an Adapter object which will send data from ECC table to CRM. In the Table/Structure tab, I have mentioned the ECC table name for which data will come.
A FM is created to convert data and is mapped in Mapping Module of the object.Now though initial load is running sucessfully, table entry is not inserted in CRM table.
Though I have given breakpoint in the FM, it is not triggering. Is there any way out to debug the FM.

Hi,
Can you let me know the download status of your adapter object using txn. R3AM1? If it is DONE, you can trigger another initial load.
The inbound queue formation on CRM is governed by USE_IN_QUEUE field of table CRMRFCPAR on the ECC for your adapter object. It should be set to X. So in case there's a specific entry for your adapter object in CRMRFCPAR, just check it.
If this setting is already maintained you should see a queue name like R3AI_<objectName> in SMQ2 of CRM. Of course you'd need to deregister the R3AI* queue in txn. SMQR.
Thanks,
Rohit

Please Help : Iphone 5 built in maps app blank issues

My built in map application doesnt work. I see the blue dot updating my location, but doesnt show any maps. Just a blank screen. I can pull directions and turn by turn navigation. Everything works but the road/street maps is blank. Does anyone know a fix to this problem? Its soo weird its like after i updated to the new firmware it stopped working.

Thanks PJL123, I honestly didn't even know that was available. I did it and it looked like all my apps were in that task bar. So, I cleared it and rebooted. Unfortunately the Maps App has the same issue. Thanks much for teh suggestion. I'm sure that memory was bogged down with all the apps in residence.

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.

1/2 Hour Time Shift in the Map Module

A quick search didn't find anything, but this was mentioned on the Lightroom channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I662DDxQQUI). When working with tracklogs in the map module, LR allows one to timeshift the data to allow for time zone changes between the camera and the GPS receiver creating the log (‘Set Time Zone Offset’ in the Tracklog dropdown menu). However, some countries like Canada (Newfoundland) and Australia have 1/2 hour time zone shifts as well as one-hour time zone shifts, so it would be a good idea to have the shift broken down into 1/2 hour increments.
Mike.
Update: I just had another look at this, and while the slider moves with the mouse in one-hour increments, one can manually type in an offset of whatever time, so 3.5 hours for example is possible. Never mind!!
Leaving this here in case anyone else is wondering...

Check if "Time Zone Support" is turned on. If it is turn it off.
Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support (down at the bottom).
When this feature is on it displays even dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars. This must be 2 hours difference in your case.
