Sensor Fusion & Tracking helperGlobeViewer

I've run into a graphics issue with the Sensor Fusion & Tracking toolbox. When running the Simulate and Track En-Route Aircraft in Earth-Centered Scenarios example as-is, the plots fail to show the Earth as shown below. When running this example several months ago, I didn't have this issue. So my only guess is that recent MATLAB updates have caused this regression. I'm currently running R2021a Update 4 win64. Does anyone have ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi Chris,

We have seen this happen before when internet is not available, the globe may fail to render the Earth. I would not expect any difference due to the MATLAB update.

You can try another command that rely on the same technology and see if it works:

geobasemap('satellite');

Usually, there is a warning message in the command prompt if the globe fails to load maps from the internet.

Please note that the function you are using is also an example 'helper' which is not as bulletproof as official and documented functions.

If you are still experiencing issues with this, I would suggest to create a technical support ticket for further investigation. If you do that, please mention this thread in the ticket so that folks can keep the Sensor Fusion and Tracking team involved.
