 +In rare cases there can be issues when downloading a map region. If there was an issue with the download the map region will stay gray with the spinner icon (please allow up to 1 minute after the download finishes for the region to turn green). You can click on the region to select it for deletion, click ''Apply'' and then download it again.
  
 Please note: we highly recommend to not download huge areas. This can result in long download times, unnecessary usage of storage on your device, will make updating the maps way more complicated, and in the worst case can lead to performance issues. Just download the areas you actually need, and you will be fine. You can always download more areas and use the auto download feature (see below) for navigation as well. Please note: we highly recommend to not download huge areas.
