I try to get a Phantom 4 RTK with GL300N controller and DJI GS RTK App setup for flying survey missions.

My problem is that even with internet connection via wifi the map/satellite information does not show any details beyond the world map level.

Some details:
  • Initially I had a complete black map and could not select another map type besides "Amap". This was an issue known from recent firmware upgrade. It could be fixed by reinstalling the DJI GS RTK up on the controller.
  • Now I can see the world map information but when I zoom in, I do not get any further detailed map or satellite data even when connected to wifi and internet.
  • Map type is "Mapbox" but I assume functionality is not build in the controller up but needs another mapbox app or APK installed on the controller.
  • So, I cannot do any mission planning because I can’t see any detailed base map (only world map) either in planning or flight app ☹.
I will get a 4G sim next but I am sure it will not fix the problem. I can't see any map details or satellite imagery even when I connected the controller to the internet via wifi.

I searched forum and internet but can't find any more detailed information. So, I stuck a bit now ... again.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thx, Jürgen

If you can't load maps from the drawdown screen (finger pull from top of screen) and 3 dots upper right, you'll need to install a map file from DJI through customer service or dji.repair. This requires a phone call as it's not available on-line. Load it onto a formatted sd card then into your remote. Install card before turning rc on. If all goes well in 5 min you'll see maps to find your area of interest. Note: it may not be called mapbox anymore.
About a year ago there were members here that were giving that file to each other online. Try using the search function to locate it. Maybe someone still has a copy.

Hi all,
I got different advice ranging from updating firmware to downgrading firmware :).
Is it advisable to upgrade to versions that are not officially released, or is it better to stick to fully released onces?

My current firmware versions are:

Aircraft: 02.02.0611 (FR)
RC:02.01.0012 (FR)

Shall I update the controller version?

Thx, Jürgen

Just want to provide a quick update. I have updated the firmware of the controller to to the newest official version: V02.02.0612.

I lost again the "mapbox" option but the "AMAP" option now works showing detailed map and sattelite data in the planner and fly app.

Thanks to all for your helpful comments.
