Having exact same problem, in the same zones mentioned. I have the auto updater one, 1st thing I did was reinstall it, same problem, then redownloaded all files from options, same thing, redownloaded files from options a second time, saw it downloading the maps from the problem areas without a hitch, still I have a white map. The rest of the zones are great, no problems, and I am too attached to the POIs to do without it, but having never been to the areas that dont have a map, I am completely lost, and so have given up playing in those zones
