The download prompt is quite big and intrusive. There are two seperate problems:
-
The prompt makes it hard to navigate at map borders because the prompt will immediately appear when the center is outside of the downloaded map region.
-
When world map with high zoom levels will be available the prompt will take up a lot of screen space.
Possible solutions:
- Make the prompt appear if the middle of the screen is a certain distance from map edge or if a certain amount of the screen surface area is not covered by a downloaded map.
- Make the prompt appear only over the downloadable area (ancored to the map, not the screen)
- Move downloaded prompt out of the way, make it smaller, make it partly transparent
