Thank you so much for looking into this and guiding me through diagnosing the problem !

Yes, it works with the new folder, so I'll start over in a different place on the SD card. The card is almost new, just downloaded/updated approx. 15 GB maps three times or so, which should be ok on a 64 GB card.

I'll be travelling, so will have to live with those updates. Or perhaps opt out when they happen. Is there a way to selectively update subscriptions, or is it all or nothing? I don't remember having a choice, but it is also quite likely that I just missed it.

Ah, makes sense. I'm guilty of some verbose logs, too Sometimes it's the best way to understand what is going on.

I think I used that profile because I tried different map clients, and forgot to change it when I found that Pure Maps was the best choice. I really like that search and route planning are both available offline.

On the desktop, I have used KDE Marble for years, but it only lets me have map tiles offline.
