After experiencing the issue ourselves, reloading Pokemon GO after updating the app to its latest version resolved the no roads issue.
However, in the event that the issue persists following an update, there are a few other quick fixes you can try as well:
- Update Pokemon GO - via the iOS or Google Play store depending on your device
- Clear the cache and data - found in your device's application manager in the Settings menu
- Close all other background apps - then restart the game as normal
- Initiate a forced shutdown of the app - also found via the application manager in the Settings menu
If none of the above solutions work, you should visit Niantic's Pokemon GO Help Center to report the bug and/or contact them directly; the options for both are in the top-right of the landing page.
On the other hand, Niantic is usually quite quick in resolving urgent Pokemon GO issues affecting the game. If the latest update still hasn't fixed the map not loading for some players, the team will most likely be working on the next patch to do so.
