Hi Frans & developers,

do you reckon this problem could be temporarily fixed by creating a soft link
to a directory on the SD-card or would that sill require that special apparmor
rule? If a simlink does not work, it might help to create an image as a
container on the SD-card and mount it to the folder mentioned above. I don't
want to circumvent any system security but I'm rather wondering whether there
is a temporary way to still have the maps on the SD-card. Will try both ways
tomorrow or on Sunday.
