Hi Matt, Yes, older version of iPhoto used Google Maps for places look up. That licence expired a few years ago and now iPhoto uses Apple Maps for the job. Older version require an update to use the Faces feature also.
The maps in iPhoto 9.4.3, 9.4.5 and Aperture 3.4.5 continued to work till August this year. Since then the Places view will no longer show the Google Maps and only iPhoto 9.5.1 or later and Aperture 3.5.1 or later will show the maps. Re: Checking Application Compatibility for upgrading your OS X, a good first place to check is: RoaringApps - Application Compatibility Table El Capitan 10.11 - Yosemite 10.10 - Mavericks 10.9 - iOS 9 - iOS 8 <http://roaringapps.com/apps <http://roaringapps.com/apps>> Make sure you do the proper preparation of cleaning up your Mac - Review and uninstall any programs that you no longer need. Review Login Items (accessed from System Preferences | Users & Groups), disabling any applications that do not need to automatically load at startup, thereby reserving resources for other programs. And BACKUP BACKUP!! If you require my normal post to WAMUG for installing OS X Upgrades, let me know.
