No MAP Display

Hello,

Beginning today, Wednesday 14, february, 2018, when going to "Image/Set GPS Coordinates" I don't see Map Display.

I'm attaching a screen copy.

My operative system is Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update. If you need more information, let me know.

Thanks, Juan

Hi Juan,

Please make sure that you're running the latest build of Photo Mechanic. You can get the current build of Photo Mechanic by going into the Help menu > Software Update and clicking the Check Now button.

If you are current on your Photo Mechanic build, then I suggest updating Internet Explorer on your computer.

HTH,

Jerry

Thanks for your time, Jerry

As you probably know, Windows 10 comes with a new navigator called "Edge" and "Edge" does not like Java, as many other modern updates of web navigators.

Since "Edge" is now the standard navigator for Microsoft, the 'old' Internet Explorer has not been updated. There is no more updates.

Anyway, Microsoft keeps the last updated copy of Internet Explorer just for compatibility issues. We could say that we are lucky, because 'old' Internet Explorer likes Java as usual, so I have updated last version of Java (Version 8 Update 161).

I am sorry to say that I still have no map display. The rest of coordinates information is correct, but in a blank window inside the program.

Anyway in the las 6 months, or so, the behaviour of the red icon that sets the position in the map of the applications had some kind of wandering movement. Sometimes it started drifting left o right, up or down, or 45 degrees and I had to close the program and start it again.

Since Java is starting to be removed from a lot of applications, due to security issues, I suggest in a new version of your great Photo Mecanic to use different software than Java.

I'm attaching some screen copies related to what we are talking about.

Thanks!

The Google Maps API is JavaScript-based.  We'll check to see if there is some alternative Google Maps API that works with the available system browser on Windows 10.

Since you're current on both Photo Mechanic and IE, it's possible that there's an issue with the Windows Registry key that specifies IE 11. If you're comfortable using the Windows Registry Editor, please see the following link for a possible solution:

Otherwise, I recommend that you run Photo Mechanic's installer and choose Reinstall/Update to update the system Registry.
