Mehmet, you can click on top of the window and choose a different map provider like GoogleSat or MicrosoftSat, etc … . The issue you are having is likely that the default provider (OviSat) does not work where you (geographically) are.
You can also change the default map provider on Linux with a shell environment variable, can’t remember exact name at the moment.

We seem to be getting this a lot. Perhaps we should change the default
provider?

MAP_SERVICE
Keys are here:
If GoogleSat or MicrosoftSat works well in Australia for default SITL Canberra location (works well for me here in US) could be a good idea to change the default.
Dear @OlivierB & @peterbarker
Thanks for support. PS. GoogleSat does not work for me . I am using MicrosoftSat now.
Dear @OlivierB & @peterbarker
May I ask a question that is not related to this topic ? I don’t want to create a new topic. what is the reason why this command (gtakeoff) does not work ( “Unknown Command”).
gtakeoff is not a mavproxy command, but a (user defined) alias in a mavinit.scr startup script provided as an example.Check this part of the documentation, looks like you don’t have that file or it’s not in the right place or read correctly?
Hi @OlivierB
Thanks for explanation. I understand the issue, but when I flow the instructions, I have same result, maybe it’s from me. I am at the beginning level in these matters.

if you maximize the window you can get the “view” menu. Changing my source to Ovi seems to make my problem go away. Is there any way to set a default map source so I don’t have to do it every time?
Yes, set environment variable MAP_SERVICE to the service of your choice and that service will be used by default. See Peter’s post earlier in this thread.
I know this is more linux related than SITL related, but how do you set that environment variable ? I’ve just ran
env MAP_SERVICE=GoogleMap
in my console and it worked, I have the new environment variable, but it doesn’t seem to work, the SITL map still starts with the default OviSat.
add
export MAP_SERVICE="GoogleMap"
to your .bashrc for example
