Confused about the online/offline navigation

@David-Bonner, Yes it is!
But I think the icon is a bit unlucky it looks like a streetsign...@Corjan-Meijerink, I hate to stretch your patience and it is really cosmetic, but if it it could be replaced with a cloud-symbol that would be great. With a strike through for off-line mode and without one for online, I would suggest (that would make the icon permanent).

You're absolutely right. But a cloud symbol could also create confusion and has more to do with data storage rather than an internetconnection. Someone might be mistaken and think that it means weather information cannot be retrieved. What about such an option?
Don't pay attention to the size of the image.

@Rob-Verhoeff, Haha, nice! I think cloud stands for internet nowadays, don't you think? Yeah, someday we will probably get some weather layer, then we can use a sunny icon maybe

I propose this one it is quite telling

They need to be small but easily recognisable. These are pretty standard symbols (see Apple Mac) and low enough resolution to be easy to create / colour:

Funny thing is: we do use the official material design icon for mobile data off (https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material Symbols Outlined%3Amobiledata_off%3AFILL%400%3Bwght%40400%3BGRAD%400%3Bopsz%4048)
There are quite some other options too.
Just remember for now that no icon is online and a (this) icon there is offlineI’ll give it another look but not a very high priority at this point

I agree, the whole offline/online maps is not so clear.
I dont find any option to download maps, or select online/offline.Is there an article how to use offline maps, or any other info that might be helpful?

@Ufootje, Offline maps are to be found under the 3-lines menu on the main screen, then the profile icon upper right, scroll down a bit.
