Guernsey / Corrupt / Missing / Empty
Hi and yes, the island is there, but no infrastructure. Just a black blob with the ferry lines. No roads, no POI, no names, no nothing... Just updated on my (android) phone and fresh install on laptop (Windows). Neither show Jersey properly.

Hi! Jersey now has the same problem, no data. (Guernsey is fine). Maybe @Nigel can take a look and see if he can fix it? JJ

No, this issue also occours at "simple" T-junctions. Voice prompts still says go straight until I'm "in" the t-junction itself. JJ
