The confirmation alert for downloading an online map service to an offline map layer now includes a text field to provide an alternative name for the offline layer.

* Improved readability of Map Layer Settings’ transparency slider value
* Map Layer action menu includes short cuts to ‘Edit Style’ and ‘Select Style’ (which are still available via that Map Layer Settings view also)

* Layers sync’d to web map will now display with the layer’s selected style, including labels (only when using unmodified app-bundled styles)
* When creating (or moving) a point, vertex or route destination, the location can optionally be specified by entering (or pasting) coordinates instead of just by placing the location on the map

* Easier data entry by a dedicated data entry view - with larger area for text-type fields
* Buttons or options that zoom/pan the map to a particular extent (eg, tap on a search result feature) now disable the ‘Centre’ or ‘Heading’ map location modes, to avoid the map panning immediately back to the current location
