Download or delete actions will be applied for the following zoom levels:
- Starting at the map zoom level.

A profile map provider normally contains more than one 'normal' map provider.

This list also displays the number of images which are already available as offline images (OK) and it shows how many images needs to be downloaded (Missing).

Waiting Queue

This number shows the current state for images which needs to be downloaded, it is counting down to 0.

 

Actions

Download Images

When a target zoom level is selected for which a map provider to not provide map images, it appears that the download is not working because the Waiting Queue is not counting down because the download is waiting for the map provider server.

Reducing the target zoom level can prevent this behaviour.
