Hello,
I used Osmand in the past and had offline maps on my SD card which worked fine.
Now I got a new phone (Android 4.2.2 (so not the new one with the SD bs)) and wanted to use my old SD card.
In the settings of Osmand I said to use the SD card as the main folder and when I go into the map settings it also shows 4GB offline maps.
The problem is, it does not use them.
I only got the big world map but all my other maps with the details do not show up.
How do I get Osmand to load them?

The Osmand version on my phone is 1.8.3 - no idea what the old version was, but mostly only a few months old.
Maps are in .obs format (according to the extension).

*obf I meant.
I also tried to delete the osmand folder on the internal storage, but that did not help.

Ok I found the problem. First of all I had to zoom in more to get the maps, but the main problem was, that my world map file was only ~30MB and thus lacking all streets and so. After I re-downloaded the worldmap file offered directly in Osmand now I have streets also when zoomed out.
