Hopefully this is all user inexperience.

1.  My gps screen was blank.  I was not connected to internet but I had no home point or rth line on the gps screen like I always go with M2 and smart controller.  Is this normal?  Once I connected to hot spot the gps screen worked normally.

2.  There does not seem to be a way to change the warning for low battery voltage. Is this correct?  If so that is a feature I will miss.

3. I suddenly seemed to be unable to find pano mode which I had seen prior to flight. I’m not sure why.

My gps lock took less than two min.

I have only flown one battery so far…Any help especially about gps screen is much appreciated.

1/ you don’t need to be connected to internet to have GPS. (Although dji are now advising to connect to internet to obtain GPS quicker) the jury is still out on that.

2/ No you cannot, but you can cancel it when it comes on. You cannot cancel critical battery.

3/in the camera menu on the right hand side just tap on camera Pano mode you need to scroll to find it.

What’s a GPS screen? Do you mean map ?

There is no "GPS screen".
It's hard to understand your question.

Was this your first flight with M3 ? First time I’ve ever heard it called a gps screen. It works exactly the same with your M3 as it does with all your other drones.

I think you mean map/minimap screen. From the manual.

You are possibly the only person who calls it a GPS screen.
Whatever you are talking about, it shows no GPS information.
Perhaps you mean what everyone else refers to as the map window?

I was thinking the same thing
If you can't explain your issue, you can't expect others to be able to give you the help that you want.

Its difficult to take this serious. You have a lot more experience than most, yet the questions are like something a newbie drew up. My guess is you’re just pulling the pi$$…

I'm at a loss to see why you are so rude and overly sensitive.
Lighten up.

The usual reason for a blank map is either:
The app doesn't have an internet connection to download the appropriate map for where you are flying.
or
The app doesn't have location data (either from its own location services or from the drone's GPS receiver, to know what map to download.

I think some of the issue is that there might be a language and terminology barrier that's having an impact on the communication, combined with the fact that there are a number of threads related to GPS that have gotten over-heated.

My suspicion is that you are flying with a device that does not natively have internet access, either because it's a pro or you have disabled internet access on your own device or you are flying in an area with limited over-the-air internet service.  If so, I think that you have not collected and cached map data, for which I have a suggestion.  You also mention that you are not seeing lines between your home point location and your drone.  I've not tested this much, but it sounds like you may be flying before home point has been set, which might occur if you are not waiting for the system to establish home point, and that might be occurring if you decide to fly even when your GPS connection is weak.

For the blank map, you can use the app and use the map features even when not flying the drone (I do that a lot), and I recommend you try in a location you have internet connection.  My hope and expectation is that when you are in such an environment, you will see the normal visual map images, and that data will be cached and available when you fly w/o an internet connection.

As far as the missing line(s), try to wait for however long it takes for home point to be established, and then fly and see if you have the expected line(s).  Under current circumstances, establishing home point can take an "uncomfortable" amount of time.  My suspicion is that you are flying prior to home point is established because of the length of time it takes to establish the strong GPS signal.  I don't know your circumstances, but your wait/delay could be "unusual".  The system does allow you to fly prior to home point being established, but you are taking risks if you do so, and many safety features will not function w/o home point being set.
