 Sometimes I've had "Error: Couldn't load the map \n [OK]". Could you
 include some likely reason for this, i.e. what it actually means?

 At present the user has no idea of what went wrong or how they can fix it,
 which reduces confidence.

 If, for instance, it's due to the start zoom being wrong, that should be
 set as a catchable case with a specific error message.

 Naturally, avoid piping through a technical error code directly through to
 the user. Ideally have a lookup table that converts a technical error
 code/text to a short user-friendly error message.
