Tablet map view

[Hawkjr]

I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab E for my Phantom 3 Standard. I took it for a test flight and the map view does not show up (Blank). I then connected my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and the map view does work(I've used my phone for the last 6 months). Any suggestions on the cause of the map malfunction? On a side note I also noticed that using the tablet, the signal drops out faster than my phone.

Is your Tab E connected to the Internet while you're flying? If not, you'll need to cache the maps like this.

Perhaps when you are using the Tab E you are not connected to the internet to get maps?

Thanks, looks liked your suggestion worked. I won't know until the weekend when I get back home. Joys of working on the road.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I haven't got a tablet yet but I plan to use my phone as a hotspot so the tablet can get maps.

I found that it's just easier (for me) to cache the maps and update them when needed. Just my 2 cents.
