I see this is a fairly common problem - judging from the number of posts regarding it - that has not been solved so far. It appears - at least in my case - to be a problem on the user side, isolated to a particular device. My iMac, iPhone and iPad show all maps properly, only the Mac Mini shows a grid instead.
Is this something Apple doesn't like to talk about; and even less working on?
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
In the end it was really simple to correct: In the user library select the cache folder and throw it into the trash. Empty the trash, restart Maps and voilá, the maps show again.
Nothing fixes a Mac like throwing the Cache into the trash!

It's supposed to. But it either doesn't do it to where it's effective, or it doesn't do it at all.
I had been booting up in Safe Mode at least a dozen times without results. So I finally decided to dump that folder completely. After all, all you lose is some convenience; that thing rebuilds itself over time.
Starting in Safe Mode also clears the caches.
FWIW, to my knowledge starting in Safe Mode only clears certain caches.
Apple Maps shows only a grid on Mac Mini.
