finally got my SD card feature to work with the new update and showing mph & miles...unfortunately i had to reinstall the app to make anything work...this lost me two huge tracks that i still am unhappy about...luckily i know the route in my head still and do hope to revisit many of the areas in the coming years...
couple things....
1. i have preferred the US - Thunderforest Outdoor map, it seems most of the time i have to run a zoom of 14-15 in order to see the features and trails that i need to see...these maps do get fairly large when you're downloading a full state of detail....
- what have people been using for their preferred maps? do you typically have to run zoom levels 14-15 to see the detail needed for your trips?
2. shane, next project...enable the ability to download maps on the cloud to our account so we may sync the maps on our device...another nice feature would be to see the current map downloads on the main map maybe as an outline so we can quickly see what areas we do not have covered...also, on the map information page, include what zoom level the map download was set to...
Thanks for the feedback =)
1) When I'm prepping for offline use, I'll download USGS, USGS 7.5, and Here Terrain at Zoom 13 for a large area (usually about half a state at a time). Those downloads aren't too bad space wise. Then I'll get more detailed down to zoom 15 on either Here Terrain or Thunderforest for the specific smaller areas.
2) Once you've defined a map on the device, that definition will sync to the cloud so if you sync other devices, the same layers & zoom levels that you downloaded on Device A will show up on Device B, but you'll have to resume the download.
In the cloud, you can view your definitions by clicking "Maps" on your account info. You can also share this definition with friends, here's one for a small section of Wyoming we did during the CDR:

I agree it would be nice to turn on a layer that shows which maps you've downloaded, but you can get this info by trying to download a new area. A yellow box will show up that shows which layers have already been downloaded. I think we originally expected folks to delete old maps after a trip is over, so we may need to rework how storing maps works for a future update.
Lastly, if you click on the Downloaded Maps button it should show which zoom levels were downloaded. It does on iOS but I haven't checked on Android yet.
