A new one for me - app crashes if I have GPS on. Filed a couple of logs from Android (Moto G5+)

With GPS off it seems to run, but with it, it launches, and it seems to be when it's finding it's location for a few seconds, then it crashes every time. Any ideas / simple ways to roll back?

Cheers

OK, I sort of 'fixed' it.

I was on a trip and downloaded the map for that area. When I came back, I deleted the map, but when I started the app, the map was still from the place I visited (cached somehow?).

To fix it, I turned location off, which was no problem, but then selected a favourite near my home, and then turned on location again, and it was able to find it - no crashing - as it was on a map it had, so I suspect trying to initially go to a deleted location and having location on (for somewhere else), was crashing it.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm.... I'm still seeing more crashes than with the previous version.

Having the same Problem (immediate app crash after starting it since yesterday) I'd URGENTLY need the APK for the 3.0.4 PRO Version to go back to this release. (only the free edition is available on the download page, unfortunately).

URGENTLY because I am heavily relying on your great app and I am going for vacation into the mountains and won't be able to download any apk from somewhere, then. :-(

Hi Dmitriy, 

I wanted to ask how the work was going. I haven't used the apk yet (mainly as there's no checksum I could see for that), but like BeejayTrailt, I'm about to hit the road so I need to decide if I can wait for a OSMAnd+ fix, trust the apk :) or whether I need to re-learn GMaps :(

All the Best

Thanks Dmitriy,

I installed the + version of this (3.2.0) and it has been working fine in some tests I've done, zooming, route calculations A->B, some gpx routes I have.  Looks good.
