Holy crap, I cannot believe you guys have the plus controller working! great work. I wonder if anyone can tell me, I am looking at a P4P Plus V2. It has the GL300K controller. Do you guys happen to know if base maps are working on that model?

I'd ask the guy your buying the P4P+ V2 from if maps are working. Might ask for software / firmware versions too.

I had this issue back in 2019. Posted the solution in this thread - Maps not showing on Pro Plus remote? Here's the fix!
That was 5 years ago.
Since then, I bought a standard Phantom 4 controller, the GL300F and really haven't used the Plus GL300E.
There were app compatibility issues back then and I needed the drone in the air to start / complete a 2 year construction project.
Purchasing a GL300F and iPad made for an easy workaround.
Over the years, I'd occasionally pull out the GL300E to check battery charge try and keep it updated.
Somewhere in that time-frame, during a firmware update attempt, maps (MapBox) went away again.

Fast forward to last week. when I'd read few current threads on the site mentioning difficulty with MapBox. Piqued my interest so I tried again.

Long and short ..... With the help from members Emptech and DJI82 on the DJI website forum, I was able to complete the update and got maps working again.
Emptech (Jim) suggested putting the "Update.zip" file on a SD card without extracting the files. Huge credit goes to him! DJI82 hosts the Update file. DJI hosts the firmware on their site,

Link to Firmware 1.04.03 update - GL300E_v1430_20200519 Click "Firmware" at the top of the screen
Download the file. Then extract the firmware package, and copy the extracted file (GL300E_RC_xxx.bin) to a freshly formatted Micro SD card.
Link to "Update.zip" file - Phantom 4 Pro Plus (GL300E) Update.zip file

Download the file. Then DO NOT, repeat DO NOT extract files. Copy the Update.zip file directly to the same Micro SD card.

Turn on your controller and make sure it automatically connects to your home WiFi. Turn controller off.

Insert the SD card into the port on the back of the GL300E.
Turn on the controller on, wait for the update to complete.

With fingers crossed. You may now have the latest DJI Go 4 software for V1 4.3.54, latest 1.04.03 firmware, and maps.

Pretty sure I was prompted one more time, asking if I wanted to install the latest FlySafe Database update. I assumed this is update that removes GEO locking.
I clicked yes and the update completed without issue.

OpenStreetMap (opposed to MapBox) is what I'm seeing onscreen for DJI's new maps provider.

Very happy to have this controller up and running. I forgot how bright and crisp the screen is.
Hope this helps! Enjoy!

Good morning, many thanks to the OP. I followed the instructions and got my maps back! This was after approximately 3 hours on the phone with DJI grinding my teeth.

Thanks again.

Very welcome and thank you for the kind comment. Feels good to share something like this that helps others. Hard to believe but my Phantom 4 Pro, both "E" and "F" controllers and all 6 batteries are all still working great. 8 years after purchase!

Thank you and I appreciate that! Very happy this worked out for you also.

 

[filmdiary]

Thanks so much! I was sure that something would glitch during the firmware update but it didn't and I now have maps working again. Amazing that a tool this old still works as designed! Doing a video shoot tomorrow and took the risk but all is well. Thanks!!!

On your bottom pic the your app number looks like 4.3.67 . Mine reads 4.2.6 after all the updates. Could let me know if your says 4.3.6 or like mine 4.2.6 ??

On your bottom pic the your app number looks like 4.3.67 . Mine reads 4.2.6 after all the updates. Could let me know if your says 4.3.6 or like mine 4.2.6 ??

Check the text I typed out above the pictures, explaining the procedure.
..... "With fingers crossed. You may now have the latest DJI Go 4 software for V1 4.3.54"

We've also discussed this in the Direct Messages you've sent me and my reply is the same -

"I can only guess your missing something in the procedure but have no idea. Did my best to relay the instructions and they have worked well for others. Keep at it, maybe it will work out."

Unfortunately, you are having problems with the procedure and it's not working for you.
Again, keep at it and maybe you'll figure it out.
I spent a good amount of time typing out the procedure and that is the best I can do for you. Regards
