It has to save the maps and search database to your device. Please make sure your device has enough free space and youre connected to a stable WiFi point before starting the download. The purchasable map sections are around 60MB each. If you want to save space, you can remove a purchased map section from your device, and then download it again (free of charge) when you next need it.UPDATES:Any 100 km2 map tiles purchased will be updated for FREE under a revision program. Tile updates are unlimited for the life of the application*.Map tiles once purchased through your iTunes account can be uploaded onto all devices registered to that account (i.e. if you purchase on iPhone you do not have to repurchase on iPad). To do this, simply go to "My Maps" from the menu and then tap the sync symbol (In the top right). You will need to enter your Apple id and the app will start syncing. Users who are having difficulty in finding purchased maps should make sure they are zooming in far enough. *or until 31st March 2016 (whichever is longer), updates will generally occur bi-annually as we update our mapping.Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life..Ordnance Survey is committed to creating the best mobile mapping experiences.
