Those of you who are interested in managing you files with geolocation (in the organizer, but also in Lightroom) are aware that there has been serious issues with Google Maps last years, and that versions before PSE 15 can no longer access the maps. The maps provider has been changed:
We are seeing a few discussions about that change.
There are also Adobe messages about the maps feature in older Lightroom versions being soon disabled.

I have been using digiKam to do my geolocating using Google Maps.
I just had a quick look and all across the satellite map, spaced very closely, it says "For Development Purposes Only"
When the map first appeared, there was a box that said "This Page Cannot Load This Map Properly"; but, the map was loaded and viewable except for the extremely annoying "For Development Purposes Only" being plastered all over.
All of my map bookmarks were still there.
Reading the guy from Ireland's post, he says that the new map company sort of just guesstimates the locations instead of pin-pointing them, which is not at all acceptable for someone so particular as me.
With digiKam and Google, I can zero the location and coordinates within inches if I have the desire to do so; on our property, I have at least a dozen spots book-marked.
I have not yet tried geolocating anything with this "Development Purposes Only" business and did not know it was going on until reading your post.
I have been geolocating to a fare-the-well; however, I have accumulated a bunch of geolocation "cheaters" --- small resolution jpegs that I have already geolocated for all the places where I have taken pictures; instead of having to bring up the map and locate the pictures, with digiKam, I can just copy the coordinates from the appropriate already-located jpeg and paste them to the new pictures.

I have spent the last several minutes geolocating some practice images.
I made some practice images and drag-dropped them onto pin-point locations on the map; other that the annoying watermarks all over the place, and moving the map being quite sluggish, I was able to accurately drag/drop each of the images onto the correct location and the resulting metadata displayed the correct coordinates with pinpoint accuracy; so…, all is not completely lost.
I don't know how well this will work for Adobe programs, but it is still workable at least for digiKam --- other than the annoying watermarks.
