Thanks Ronni. Example of the problem;
I have a photo taken at a place called North Pole in the Pilbara region; select the appropriate event & photo, select Info button and the panel appears on right side with details of picture and Faces option at the top, at the bottom is a panel with a greyed out picture of the the earth (Mercator's projection) and a field with Assign a Place... As soon as one starts typing in this field a drop down menu appears, covering the map, with a list of places starting with what you are typing, having typed North Pole there are plenty of option but none in the Pilbara and there is no option that will allow you to place a pin on the map. If I go to Places or Manage My Places there is no options that allow you to add a name or drop a pin as you could in earlier versions.
