Hi, i don't know what is your experience with computers. I will suggest a logical procedure to help you.
- run the osmand and try to backup your settings, tracks, history, etc. then exit - run a file manager into your smartphone device and locate the osmand app working folder with the maps files. Then 1. rename the root folder of osmand app with a strange name like "christmas" or 2. move (not copy) the folder into another safe place - visit android settings - apps , found the osmand and make .... stop the app, clear data, clear cache, uninstall the app. reboot the device - visit google store and install again the app - run again the fresh install and restore your settings. exit the app don't use the default option of hidden folder on first run, change this option i will suggest to install the new fresh osmand into this folder /storage/emulated/0/android/data/ - run again the file manager and manually move *one by one* all the maps files from old install, into the new fresh folder at the same locations On Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 6:14:33 PM UTC+2 [email protected] wrote: > My OsmAnd+ updated today.
