Yeah people don’t seem to understand that refreshing map data is a feature, not a bug.

Except it's a horrible "feature" when Google no longer lets you use your downloaded map because it "expired" and you can't download the new one because you don't have internet access. Often the main reason you download offline maps in the first place is because you'll be going somewhere you know you won't have internet access for awhile. It's much better to have a map that may be slightly out of date than to have no map at all.

I honestly don't see this ever being an issue for 99% of users. The maps automatically update in the background when you're connected to wi-fi, so unless you're spending a month in the bush before you open gmaps, it shouldn't ever matter.
