Not sure what's going on here... and it would be great to have a way to make it try the downloads again.

I have experienced the not responding issue on one device yesterday. Holding the power key for >3 seconds switches the device off in this situation.

So I'm guessing the download times out too fast and/or doesn't do a retry?

I also tried to move the map enough to make the failed tile drop from the drawing cache, but that trick also fails.

If there's anything to try just let me know.

These came from scrolling like insane, doubt that they would appear when in normal use like driving.

@MartinK I have been waiting for you to appear on IRC to ask about them, but I will provide I list here so I don't forget in the meantime.

* Firstly I have experienced the above black screen issue while downloading tiles with the screen locked overnight, if you ssh to device it's the [sgx_misr] at 98% CPU bug; only a reboot will fix this AFAIK.

If I can be any more help debugging this let me know.
