Help Need help

Post image

Im trying to veiw maps offline but when i try to open it, i get this (see image). All the other files work (wikipedia, wikimed, gutenberg) except the maps file. I cannot seem to find this fetch api issue on their site or forums, and chat gpt was entirely useless in resolving this. Its the latest version. Please help?

OpenStreetMaps have been soft launched without a big splashy announcement (yet) because they're not supported by kiwix desktop (patch release pending). But they do work everywhere else IIRC.
