Just put in service, latest f/w. Map showing white screen with icon in middle. Unable to download offline. I am connected to wifi. When I enable China maps, offline download options do appear but that doesn't do me much good here in Texas. I see this issue in other threads with no resolution.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Forget the maps, my friend. This is the least of your worries with P4P+ and not too smart version of Android OS ...

Thank you. Here is a photo showing the map page. The device is connected to wifi despite the warning and I am able to browse the internet. When I enable China maps, a list of them appears here.

So I am finding. Crashed constantly and features disappear and reappear all the time. Should have gotten the non plus.

I don't understand this:
"cannot use satellite maps when not connect to a network.
Offline maps are only regular rather than satellite ones."
On my iPads (Air 2 and New) there isn't such limitation.

Would you please try the steps below:
1. Power on the controller , connect to the network.
2, Click on ENTER DEVICE, then click on the map, make sure it is using the Here Map.
3. Go back the Offline Map page,  check it again.

There is the word 'here' at the bottom of the screen. I assume that means I am using Here Maps. Still not working. Thank you.

Well, to be fair my P4P+ performs flawlessly so far, flying and capturing images as advertised. There's still many features to be tested and confirmed, but the most important ones are OK. Personally never paid too much attention to maps during flight, focusing on image composition rather and on arrow in relation to a home point. The P4P+ concept is very appealing and effective, but - as with any other mass-manufactured product - there will be always an percentage of released lemons to be returned. Few unfortunate buyers are venting here, the majority of lucky ones accepts minor imperfections, enjoy flying and have no reason to show up.

Yeah, the Map supplier is correct. Have you tried other networks?  For example,  a WLAN hotspot provided by your phone.

Just a notification to tell you the offline maps are only regular maps , not the satellite maps.

I don't entirely disagree especially since I always fly 2 man in atti with my bigger rigs and the only telemetry I get or care about is voltage. But if it's supposed to be there, I want it to work.

Thanks, DJI-Thor. What I don't get is WHY the offline maps should be only the regular ones and not the satellite views. Is that a limitation of the P4P+ controller, or also of other Android devices?

The plus controller has plenty of limitations/bugs the maps is the least of them all, try using one of the automated flights for example.

I have same issue. Just purchased P4P+ and maps are not working at all.
Really disappointed.

Remote connected to WiFi but I can see only a blank area.
Better i return to replace with regular controller?

As an added bonus to my maps not working... also have major issues with the intelligent flight modes. Draw, waypoints, tap fly, etc. lock up the app every single time and I have to bring the thing back in atti mode and reboot all of it. Every time. Fortunately, course lock and POI seem to be ok.

I contacted DJI but a guy called Ronald H requested first to calibrate the Compass and IMU then ti reset factory default using PC app but nothing changed. I'm still unable to see maps.

Finally he told me to send to service to repair but should be a SW BUG because if I enable AMAP option for china I can perfectly see Chinese maps, satellite or with roads, but a not detailed map for Europe / Italy.  Do seems something related to the APP, not an issue of the drone...

I was finally able to get the maps to work by installing Assistant on a PC (Mac wouldn't recognize it) and doing a reset. My intelligent flight modes are still jacked though with constant app crashing/freezing.

Does anyone know what the story is with the update for the P4P+ app/fw?

Good to know... I have one more chance. I tried with my Mac with no results, but I will try with PC tonight. Do you reset the drone or is there a way to reset the controller too? Thanks

Same problems. Please give me more info on the process to load Assistant and workflow there after.

This may be a stupid question, but... what OS are you using on your Mac? I had no problems with my 2009 macbook Pro running Yosemite  from an external disk on Firewire. Also, did you make a *complete installation* of DJI Assistant 2, including the extra module that is part of the package?

10.11.5, and yes I did install both packages per instruction. Assistant would not recognize when the controller was plugged in via USB.
Finally I installed Assistant on a PC and tried again, and the controller did show up with one option to do a reset, which I did. After that, I had maps.

So you connected the USB from the pc directly to the controller? I did the reset to the drone, but nothing changed and I didn't seen any special reset on the controller.

Yes I just connected the controller. The only option I was even given was to do a reset, if I recall correctly.

Any update on this?  It seems some parts of the Go App on the plus controller don't see the wireless.
I've never been able to connect the transmitter to the Assistant as well.
