jolla map tiles are not cached (high data usage)

Hi, over several days I kept Jolla maps app open to cahe the tiles of an area where I commute often, so I can know where I am without eating much data. I did so sacrificing one month of 3G data allowance to download tiles.

I have downloaded for sure the tiles of a 200km trip on three different zoom levels. Data usage about 1,2 -1,5 GB.

Yesterday I opened the maps app and I found out it was downloading the same tiles (max zoom level) again, eating up my mobile data.

I am surprised by this, I have plenty of space free on jolla (about 3,5 GB used) and no sdcard. How can I be sure to cache the here maops tiles once for all? Is that a bug?

Before returning the phone for repairs I never had this issue.

Thank you

Today I just turned off all internet connections and in fact the map is all grey at the lowest zoom levels.
