I refer to the thread with the same heading in July 2018. I have similar problem. And I have tried all the methods mentioned in the thread, but still made no difference.
First, there is no such Environment Variable as GCS_GOOGLE_SAT_VERSION in my laptop running Win7, neither in System tab or Device Manager.
Second, I deleted the qmdb file in the mapscache under apmplanner2 in laptop.
The attached screen is the same before and after I deleted the qmdb file. There is only some outline of a faint map. My Revo board has satellites all locked, and Health meter is all green, meaning every system is normal. If I move the slider up, the map outline will disappear and the window becomes blank.
GCS16.09
Appreciate any help.
