I own a Mavic 2 pro for the last year with out any problems.
Today I was in a new place , a venue in a small hill and I try to fly my drone. When I turned it on it needed a compass calibration , then I got the message "calibrated ", gps mode etc. And I took off, I flew the drone at a distance and then tried to switch to the map mode as the drone was a bit far away. To my surprise all I could see was a black screen, no home point set, no drone symbol or any green lines showing where the drone Is, everything was black . The camera view mode was working fine . For my good luck I had enough battery and with a bit of trial and error I managed to bring back my drone and land it safely. I thought it was an issue -bug of something not working during startup-conection. I waited for 40 minutes,put a fresh battery on the drone , turned everything on again..GPS mode/ready to fly and I took off again .. I looked at my tablet monitor and exactly the same issue was there, on the map mode no home point no drone symbol etc. All I could see was a black screen...the live view /camera view was working fine, I even took a few photos to test it and it was working fine. I don't know why I got this black screen on the map view, I flew my drone with the tablet am always flying it with. It was a very scary experience, I am not sure even if the return to home function could have worked as an emergency ,lucky for me I learned to fly manualy and probably this saved me today.
Any suggestions / help why I got this issue today?
P.s. the drone was responding fine on my inputs
