Automatic download of offline maps
-
Just a suggestion if it could be made possible.
Could the app be configured to check all your currently installed offline maps and notify you of an update upon starting the app?
I ride with a few people that always fail to update maps and in some cases don't even know how to do it!
It would be good if you are notified of an update automatically and able to update the installed offline maps once notified.

This could be done easily but honestly updating once or twice per year is fine. Informing users about updates will result in more issues than satisfaction
If you get an update notification while on vacation on poor wifi you will click it. If the update never completes you are off worse.

@stuart-marritt I fully agree with Corjan, it is easy to become fixated with having the latest map, when in reality most updates will not have any effect on your route.

If a roundabout suddenly appears where you were expecting an intersection, things get a bit tricky...

@stuart-marritt Same here Stuart,
I know your point very well, but as any map update is not only an file that have to be downloaded and is available from several sources with high transfer rates, an update might cause you sometimes sevral hous till it will be finished.
I am sure you don't want to be in exactly this situation while you are on a trip.I am rpetty careful about map updates and plan them up front to be sure that they don't impact my tours or plans.
