The vector map turned clean white. No features showing. It just disappeared today. Any idea what the problem is?

Not great support for this app. It’s great when it works but seems no one home to maintain it. And I just renewed my subscription. What a shame.

Vector maps stopped showing anything except for my track, in April 2022. A knock on consequence is that I cannot maintain or use offline maps. As vector maps was my default while on the trail, I have stopped using Trails altogether.

I have emailed Support today, as follows:-
Dear Support
I have seen that other users are suffering from the misfunctioning of Vector Maps. Vector Maps is the most useful feature of Trails.
A knock on consequence of Vector Maps misfunction is the user’s inability to choose, download and use Offline Maps. As many areas I walk or ride in are out of cell coverage, I am unable to navigate using Trails. I have therefore stopped using it since April 2022.
Vector Maps behaviour:
When Vector Maps is selected, the live track shows up on a completely blank, white background; almost all the layers of the map are missing except for the live track. Therefore the map is of no use.
I have noticed, on zooming out while vector maps is selected, that the ocean depths are shown as shaded bathymetric contours, and in addition, that some large lakes (e.g. US Great Lakes) are shown as blue areas, and that large conurbations (e.g. Jakarta) are shown as grey shaded areas. However, all other areas above mean sea level are white.

This example of a vector map shows cities in Java, and the bathymetry of the deep waters south of Java.
I hope that your company will be able to sort out this problem, so that I and other Trails users can continue using the app.
Regards
Adrian Smith

I suspect this bug is connected to some UI layering element of the drawing canvas view. I can sometimes see part the map for a split second, like the screen update is happening in the wrong order, maybe caused by a support library in the OS changing its manner of screen updates, and only impacting some apps negatively because they either use those elements in a specific way, or were compiled with an older SDK. I still use this with raster maps (works fine), but would much prefer vector maps work again soon.

Hello to everybody!!
I am experiencing exactly the same problem, since more or less Summer '22.
As for many users here, for me (off-line) vector maps are the default setting, as I often go mountaineering in regions of the Alps where the cell phone does not connect to the internet.
PLEASE restore the use of vector maps as before, or I will not renew my subscription, as the app will be not useful for me.
Did you find any solution to this bug? I am suffering exactly the same problem and, as it happens to you, vector maps are my default mode and the most useful feature of Trails
I just purchased another year of subscription for my upcoming activities.
Then I’m troubled by this 6-month+ old issue.
Is anyone still maintaining this app?! 
Hi Domon,
It seems no one is maintaining it and maybe an appeal to the Apple Store is a good idea. They should not charge subscription because that part of the app does not function for a very long time.
As the other bit is free I guess it can be still downloaded.
