The error message for map view in NX Studio 1.1 clearly shows why the feature has been removed from v.1.2. Nikon evidently uses the ActiveX technology of IE and this will no longer be supported by Google Map API from June, 2022.
As the problem is on the program side not with the Map API as such, it ought to be solvable in future versions of Studio.
However, true to the concept of declining backwards compatibility, NX Studio 1.1 now no longer is willing to read my Z9 NEFs after the Z9 has been updated to firmware v.2.0. Oh Brave New World. Indeed.
