I think the process of finding the right map to download/activate a map needs to be improved, example: https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/5623
And often it happens, when I am on a area with no map, a long tap does *not* offer the menu for download. This should also be improved. Am Dienstag, 16.
