Selected it, and the sectional was displayed. I went to the "Layers" tab/offline and saw that "sectional" was deselected. When I opened the app after receiving the app update (not chart updates, the app update), the first map that showed was an actual detailed ROAD map, and I'd never seen that before. I dread the days I planned to go flying, then wake up to find out there's an update to the app that day and I have to waste an hour redownloading unexpired charts. When I click the "update all expired" button, I get messages saying "XXXXXXX is alread in queue," then the updates fail and I have to click on each chart manually to place them in the queue.
