Arducopter SITL Map No Longer Displays

ArduCopter Copter Simulation
1

I just fired up SITL using:

python3 ~/ardupilot/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter -f quad -L KSFO --console --map --udp --mavproxy-args="--out 10.0.0.1:14550"

as I always do and the map is no longer displaying. It always has done so in the past. I noticed this message in the output of the terminal:

map module does not support keyword arguments

Is this the cause of the problem? How do I get the map displaying again?

I did a brand new git clone of the ardupilot repository to make sure there was nothing wrong with my source code.

Thank you.

Update your mavproxy version, just in case…

Still getting the problem of no map. Here is the update:

arduous@local:~/ardupilot$ pip3 install mavproxy pymavlink --user --upgrade

And here is a console snippet:

Loaded module console

I tried searching the source for “does not support” but there are a lot of places it occurs. :-/

For anyone wondering, the solution was:

pip3 install --upgrade numpy
pip3 install --upgrade pymavlink
pip3 install --upgrade MAVProxy
