The maps are included in the downloaded app, that way all of the Apple 
installer software can check there is space for everything and act accordingly.

I've done some poking around and found that the Australian version and the New 
Zealand version are smaller than the UK & Ireland one (with New Zealand being 
the smallest at 85.6MB), and you still wouldn't be able to install those.

All of the app sizes I could find were;

Western Europe : 1.4GB
US & Canada : 1.2 GB
UK & Ireland : 241 MB
Australia : 157 MB
New Zealand : 85.6 MB

241MB initial download? Mercy!
Not intriguing engineering exactly. Did they sandbox their platform
like one would buy in the store, or what's going on there?
