I am trying to use the "webmap" and "web" functions. The "web" function outputs a blank display, as shown below.

The "webmap" outputs a corrupt display, as shown below.

I used the following syntax to reproduce this issue:
>> webmap
>> web('maps.google.com')
How can I resolve this issue?

The issue is that the system is behind a firewall or is using a proxy.
To resolve the issue, the proxy settings in the MATLAB Web Preferences needs to be set. Please refer to the following link for more information on setting proxy settings in MATLAB Web Preferences:
