Do you really understand my issue? I'm not sure I have one. The existing system and size of downloads work for me. I have prepared my own maps in the past, but adding in the height stuff makes this more complex.
I have concerns and a concern is different to an issue. To me the concerns are more that multiple people even ones who live in Montreal are having to download maps of a far larger area than they have requirements for. ie it wastes time downloading etc. Most people live in cities so having a city based approach perhaps as an alternative might suit them better.
