ReeRay Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Most of the time yes, but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Most of the time yes, but not always. It's the opposite for me. At first it worked fine. Now it's about one time in fifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNo, tried that, still nothing. And auto-complete has stopped working too. Type in 'Londo' and it can't guess London any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can't find Brussels either. Cheers, Philippe Turn left at Dunkerque, right at Ostend, straight on at Gent usually does it for me. Though I'd bet Mr. Sulu thirty Altairian dollars that he couldn't find the right exit off that ring road first time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Trump told us its a hellhole Cheers, Philippe Excellent news - should able to get a cheaper hotel next visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoDogue Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It worked a few times when I first tried it but not so much lately. Maybe there's a specific sequence of letters I need to enter when I use PhotoShop? Maybe a week ago I tried entering the GPS coordinates in Lightroom but those appeared on the AIM map two miles away, with a specific address. Had it been two miles in a different direction it could've put them in a different state. This week I entered "New York, NY" and it promptly changed to somewhere in the UK. But I wonder what the point is behind all of this. Does Alamy plan to offer some kind of world map where clients can click on a location to see photos? If the photos are searchable by Google will they show up on Google Maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hope they don't show up in google maps. There'll be a few surprises when folk see all the Buddhist temples, Thailand dancers and Thais eating on the pavement in Clacton-on-Sea UK. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Does the Google Maps-powered location adding device in IM work for ANYONE?No. I put in USA and I'm in the U.K. I tried for awhile to get it right, but spent more time doing that on one image than doing everything else on 10.One of the worst features in the whole IM. The other wrong things are more failures of inclusion. Copying tags, moving tags around, etc. but the map just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPL Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 For me only works in MS Edge browser under windows 10. For the same location, in firefox or chrome the list of results is rendered below the map I believe. Just one of the many many issues with the new image manager.
