Geo referenced plates gone?

So there I am, in a King Air, about to shoot an approach to minimums, and POW, the geo referenced approaches don't work any more? Tried it on 2 different devices, same thing. WTF? All I can get is the plate all by itself, not on the map (vector) and no airplane on the plate. Help! How do I get the plate to display on the chart?

There is a Plates button above the +/- buttons. You can tap that and then choose to put a check in front of Fullscreen Approach Mode or not. Regardless, they are all geo-referenced and it works for me.

Have you checked to make sure you have downloaded all the latest charts and plates?

Please get a fresh update of the databases. You might need to do "Check for Updates => Advanced Options => Force Database Refresh => Begin Download"..

Then check to make sure it's all working while on-the-ground, and let us know immediately if it is still failing for you. You can contact me direct via the "Menu => About => Send Bug Report" feature (which sends an email with your log, and you can type a message into the top of the email body.

It has something to do with the specific approach. GPS 31 at kcub. It throws a red border around the approach and won't display it on the map. All my data is current on both devices I'm checking. Same on both. Other approaches load with a green border and display properly on the map. Never noticed the border before.

I see the same problem at KCUB, the plate for GPS31 shows with a red border. but the map is not shown. Works for the other two appoaches.
