iTopoMaps v3.9 Released – Fix for iOS5 cache cleaning

tracy — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:52:47 +0000

Under iOS5, when the device is low on storage, it may decide to clean out cache data. Unfortunately, per SDK
rules and performance reasons, this includes downloaded maps and databases! Previously, you only had to potentially redownload after a device wipe, but now it could happen at any time!

Needless to say, this caught quite a few apps (and Apple themselves) off guard, so with the upcoming 5.0.1 iOS patch, apps can now mark files that
they do not wish to be opportunistically cleaned.

With iTopoMaps v3.9 and iOS5.0.1, you do not need to worry about maps quietly disappearing.
