Greetings,

I have digiKam 4.12.0 and the corresponding kipi plugins installed via 
apt-get on an Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 box. Everything works fine except, as 
I only realized today, there is NO map view button in the left sidebar. 
When I realized this, I also discovered that there is no 
geolocation/geotagging entry anywhere in the menus.

Is anybody experiencing the same thing? Any idea of what may be
the reason, and how to fix it?

TIA,
Marco
