SAS.Planet is a powerful offline/online map browser that lets you view and download satellite imagery, terrain maps, and street maps from dozens of sources (Google, Bing, Yandex, OSM, ESRI, etc.). It's especially popular for:
A: Your map tile cache database schema changed. Use the old build to export tiles as images, then import into the new build.
Cause: Mapping service API changed.
Fix: Download a newer nightly build (within 1-2 weeks of the service change).
Workaround: Switch to a different map source temporarily.
| Use Case | Recommendation |
|----------|----------------|
| Casual browsing / downloading | Stick to stable release (e.g., 2024.11 or newer) |
| Testing new map sources or fixes | Nightly is fine, but be prepared for bugs |
| You need reliability for fieldwork | Avoid nightlies entirely |
| You see a future date (2025) | Do not run — treat as suspicious unless it's a typo for 2024 (241114) |
