That tells me which maps are downloaded. If - while still connected - I 
enter a route (or just a destination, assuming I start from where I am), 
does it automatically download the necessary map (I'm only going to be 
within England so most of the time one should suffice, if as someone 
suggested England is 275 × 275 km maps) while I'm connected, or do I 
have to specifically tell it to do so?

Thanks for all the information.

Maybe someone else can answer my question above?

Radio 4 is one of the reasons being British is good. It's not a subset of
Britain - it's almost as if Britain is a subset of Radio 4. - Stephen Fry, in
Radio Times, 7-13 June, 2003.
