Worldmap does not work with MATLAB R2018b

Dear MATLAB experts,

I installed the Mapping toolbox for my MATLAB R2018b and trying to use the WORLDMAP function, but it gives me an error:

>> worldmap world

Error using axesm (line 140)

Unrecognized property: Spheroid

Error in regionmap>constructMapAxesWorld (line 488)

ax = axesm(...

Error in regionmap (line 107)

h = constructMapAxes(latlim, lonlim, e);

Error in worldmap (line 122)

ax = regionmap(mfilename, varargin);

Thank you in advance!

I don't get that error Tatiana.

I'm running 2018b:

MATLAB Version: 9.5.0.944444 (R2018b)

Mapping Toolbox Version 4.7 (R2018b)

The three lines of code in the help

worldmap('World')
load coastlines
plotm(coastlat,coastlon)

produce the image in the help

So I would guess you've an installation error?

good luck, Mark.

Try any of the following:

1. Run "which -all" command to the handle to see if the command is shadowed in MATLAB search path .

2. Try adding "figure" before running the "worldmap" command

3. Re-install MATLAB and the issue was resolved.

The third option helped, thank you!

I removed MATLAB completely from my computer and installed everything again. The Mapping Toolbox works perfectly now.
