I have yet to see a map displayed when flying my Solo using an iPhone 6s Plus. It's never been an issue until I tried the Orbit feature, where it would be helpful.
The latest Solo manual unhelpfully says:
I Googled "procedural generation" but the Wikipedia explanation seems to apply to generating scenery using algorithms, which sounds like the opposite of using an actual satellite map. (I understand the second sentence about needing storage space to cache map data.)
So I ask you, what does the first sentence mean, in layman's terms?
All I know is that my phone's cellular data connection is enabled when I'm flying and if I were to open Google Maps it would display my location. The 3DR Solo manual indicates that the Solo app is fetching its own maps so I'm curious why it's not doing so for me.
Thanks!

"Note: iOS controls the map data cache procedurally; 3DR cannot guarantee its availability. For best results, make sure your iOS device has a reasonable amount of free storage."
