BlenderGIS 2.2.8 and Blender 4.02 not loading any of the maps

[amitchaudhary82]

Hello,
I have newly installed Blender 4.02 on my Macbook Pro (M2 version) and have installed Blender GIS pluging
Have also created the OpenTopography API key, tested with Swagger UI and connection is OK.

Now whenever I try in Blender the below steps
Create New Flle
Click on "GIS" => "Web Geodata" => "Basemap" => Google + Sattelite
now the software hangs, no layers are loaded, have to press "Esc" key to make the system come back

Have checked the Blender Logs file and it keeps saying the below

ERROR:BlenderGIS-master.core.basemaps.mapservice:885:Corrupted tile on cache
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ValueError('Could not find a format to read the specified file '
ValueError: Could not find a format to read the specified file in mode 'i'

Could someone please support here as I thought it should be "plug and play" kind of a thing

I have a very similar problem. A map appears but the system just hangs. I can scroll it around but I can't get anything to work, no tools or menus are useable in Blender as a whole once I do. The only different between our usage cases is that I am on Windows 10 and no Swagger UI. This sadly just seems like a very buggy plug-in!

This will solve your problem (at least it did for me): #655 (comment)

Thanks, I'm on Windows 10 though. I don't know if this is still applicable, the Brew software seems to be for Mac, I don't really know what to do with the code suggested.
