That is bizarre, how else would he see maps unless they were downloaded? Have them all included in the app for the entire world and have it be 500GB install or something?
I mean the most popular map apps just download relevant data as it's needed so that's probably the assumption most people are coming in with.
Ah I see, so it wasn't about the downloads but that he had to tap a button.
It's a much better system with manual downloads anyways, since you know you have all the maps for a region available offline, vs with most mapping apps you have no idea and could just end up with no maps loaded.
