Map names outdated and too large for screen
Two (three) points about offline maps:
1. For France, it's using names of regions that have been superseded by new ones in 2015. These should be updated. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_France. I understand it's a relatively simple lookup online to see what goes where, but this is where point 2 comes.
2. A lot of the names cut off to the point where it's unclear whether you're downloading Sachsen or Sachsen Anhalt (in Germany). It would be good to either have a visual (map?), scrolling text, more information ... so that you know what you're doing. Extra information, e.g. in the case of France, in which actual region a map is (e.g. Alsace - Grand Est) would also be helpful. Again, I understand that there's a simple workaround by using the web dashboard, but that's where point 3 comes.
3. The web dashboard still(!) doesn't allow downloading more than 8GB worth of maps. This fix should be so simple and I really don't understand how a product that has shipped 6 months ago still has this problem.

Concur with the above-post, and especially points 1 & 2. I'm planning a September trip to ride in France and am having trouble figuring out which map(s) to download.
Would you either update the regions listed for offline map downloads to those shown on the appropriate Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_France) or send me a map of the regions as used by the Karoo 2? Thank you very much.

How accurate is this: Karoo Offline Map Sections - Legend:
