Hi,

I have used my own collection of raster maps (calibrated for Ozi Explorer) converted to sqlite by Global Mapper in Locus Maps without any problems for many years. However, in recent releases (in the past few months) Locus Map started corrupting these maps, thus changing their extension and making them unreadable and unavailable from the maps menu. I have to rename them manually (which is not that simple in Android) to make them visible again, but very soon Locus will corrupt them again. Any solution? Maybe convert the maps to some other format that Locus can read? It's really frustrating.

Hello Bluealek,
very interesting. To what extension are the maps renamed? And after you change it back, it works again?

Would be helpful to get a smaller map for testing. The only reason why the map may be renamed should be a problem with the map file itself. Anyway, one map (working and also renamed) should really help here to simulate and get the real reason of this problem. Thanks.
