Good morning,  Please pardon the newbie question.
In the lower left corner of the screen when flying my Mavic 2 Pro with the Smart Controller is a map.  Since I'm in the field and the Smart Controller is NOT connected to WiFi, the map location is not being updated.  I know how to create an offline map.  But is there a way with the Smart Controller to tether to my cell phone to gain Internet access to download these maps in the field?  I've been unsuccessful so far in doing so, obviously doing something wrong.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

So no other options that have to be updated to get the updates to occur automatically?
Again my SC is connecting to my iPhone's Hotspot,  but the map never gets updated.

Thanks!

Hello and good day Bill. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Mell on post #2 and  raven swe on post #4 are correct. May we know if you have a good signal coverage or a good reception on the area where in you are located and trying to cache the map on your DJI Smart Controller? Thank you.
