I have an iPad Pro 10.5” (2017) running iOS 16.3. Apple Maps will only show a blank grid—no matter which layer I choose—and a blue dot for my location. I’ve tried powering down and hard resets, without success. Privacy settings allow Apple Maps to access my location while using apps or widgets. Any suggestions?

As described, your iPad appears to have difficulty reaching some server resources via your internet connection. The potential causes are many; possible causes include, but are not limited to:
If you are able, try using a different WiFi network - or if available, a cellular hotspot connection (mobile phone or MiFi mobile-broadband router).
You might try using a reliable recursive DNS service. Here are some to try (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are included below - configure all four servers for the chosen service):
Quad9
9.9.9.9
149.112.112.112
2620:fe::fe
2620:fe::9
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
2620:0:ccc::2
2620:0:ccd::2
Cloudflare
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001
This could mean that your internet is too slow to load the map.
I doubt this is it. My download speed is 98.68 Mbps, and upload speed is 11.5 Mbps. Also, Apple Maps loads without problem on my iPhone using the same connection (even when only using WiFi).
