2.5D Map Provider
Hint
When upgrading from an older version:
- Close MyTourbook
- Delete file map25-provider.xml in the folder
C:\Users\<User>\mytourbook\.metadata\.plugins\net.tourbook - Start MyTourbook
The file map25-provider.xml from versions before 20.8 does not contain the new mapilion map provider.
