Hi,
Since you're still waiting for at least a nudge - I googled something, dunnow of this helps any...
Good luck...and...hoping the thread gets some momentum now

Actually, I now suspect it might have been a problem with Apple's map servers . . .
When the maps were blank, they were blank for all users of the Mac, and the non-blank maps on my iPhone might well have been those tiles that were cached.

Ouch...so, sync could be...dangerous, if I understand correctly...
Actually, since this experience, I have actually observed both Google Maps and MapQuest "briefly going totally bonkers."
Therefore, I now believe that the actual cause of the problem that I observed, was that it was, in fact, "an outage."
I'm quite surprised that this "outage" lasted for the time-period that it did, but let the record show that Apple's "Software Update" servers sometimes seem to be "quite constipatedimpacted, from time to time," too.
Nevertheless, "lately," Maps seems to be working as-expected on all devices.
