yes Geooh is pointing to the C:GEO map directory folder.
C:geo is rending the map fine

I don't use themes, the only thing in the map directory folder is the map file. Themes file is empty
after the Geooh reinstall the only settings i changed was "use offline maps" and then pointed to the map folder.
could it be a hardware conflict with my phone? i am using a pixel 6 pro

I just got a bug report from your phone. The error occurs when the Mapsforge software that Geooh uses (and also c:geo) comes across a map file that their software has a problem with... something to do with an invalid header and file size. I looked at the Mapsforge code and of course don't fully understand what it is doing or why it had a problem.

I still feel there is an issue with the map file you are using. Is there any way you can try another source for maps and test it. Definitely don't use c:geo's download utility because they may be messing around with the map file after downloading. What country are you using offline maps for? I could use the same source (or find one for you) that works properly.

Bottom line is the error is not within Geooh code, but the 3rd party Mapsforge software that I don't control.

I have tried 4 sources now for maps. All with the same results. I have attached screenshots of my settings as well as maps folder with it's contents

Well, there are way too many map folders. Are you switching between them? Due to bad Mapsforge software, both Geooh and c:geo have to move files internally to access them with proper security. With so many maps there could be a shortage in file space.

Do this... find just one ".map" file for your area. Use the link Geooh provided to Mapsforge via Download Maps. Use v5 not v4! Don't have anything else in the map folder chosen in settings. Uncheck then recheck Use Offline Maps to force Geooh to rebuild internal files. Then see if you encounter a problem. Hopefully all works fine.

BTW, c:geo isn't using offline maps... it's using Google according to your screenshot.

I did as directed, removed all map files and folders created one folder named maps. Downloaded v5 through geooh. Reinstalled geooh, pointed offline directory to the maps folder which has only.on map file in it. And it's still not working.
