Local maps are being deleted

[Graeme]

Hi everybody,

I am using Osmand+ on a Huawei Mate 10 running Android 10. 

I've been using Osmand for about 5 years now and think it is wonderful, although it's getting a bit complicated as more and more features are being added.

For the last few weeks, some, but not all of my downloaded local maps get deleted every time there is an Osmand update.

This has just happened again with the update to 4.1.10.

I have Wales and all of the England maps downloaded, but have just lost Wales, West Midlands, Eastern England, South East England and Greater London with today's update.

Has anybody else suffered this problem, or does anybody know how to stop this happening?

Many thanks.

Hi Graeme,

personally, I've not observed this issue, in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy A50 with Android 11), OsmAnd has received several updates during the past 2 months and the maps were never been deleted.

Can you please check what is the location you have set for map storage, by looking at menu Settings -> OsmAnd settings -> Data storage folder ?

I have "External memory 1", that corresponds to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files.

I also have installed OSmAnd+ (v.4.0.9) in a MEmu virtual machine, that emulates a OnePlus device with Android 7.1.2: the setting there is the same as above, and again the app updated suceesfully without any issue.

Cheers,

Max
