I went ahead and purchased the Offline Maps version after enjoying the free version for some time, not because the ads were terribly annoying, but just to support the developer. But when I go to my waypoints in Offline Maps +, I don't see my waypoints listed. From what I can tell, the maps that I've cached carried over (since there is a storage size beside each of the maps I've cached), and it looks like they both save to the same folder, I'd think it would automatically show the ones I created in the free version.
I did a search in the forums, and checked the FAQ but I wasn't able to find anything. Maybe I didn't use the right combination of search terms, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Waypoints didn't carry over upon purchasing Offline Maps +
Hi and thanks for your support (sorry for the answer delay).
On most devices, when using the default settings, the "+" version will reuse all data (stored maps, saved landmarks, etc.) from the normal one.
Because the "+" version is a separate application (and not an upgrade or an in-app purchase), the Android system does apply the same restrictions that occur between all apps, and for example won't let them share data if it's stored on the external storage or stored in the "Android/" sub-folder of your device's internal memory, and unfortunately some devices only have those options.
What I suggest you is to open the normal version, and check the storage folder as explained here. Do the same on the "+" version and check if both folders are the same.
If so, maybe you only need to re-display your landmarks (open the landmarks explorer and select the items you want to display).
If not, you'll have to manually copy the content of the old storage folder inside the new storage folder using your device's file manager.
Let me know if you need any additional details,
Best regards
