Primarily, completeness of the map. A perennial issue, but in
this case, while the roundabouts are shown, the roads connecting them
are not. Nor the two places I needed to provide directions to/from

that - interweb connections are not universally available.
Secondarily - icons. Those little abstract pictograms which are
suppose to aid in the tasks. Without text labels, they sometimes are
difficult to learn - or relearn. But this is a standard gripe about
interfaces. (cue Geezer Rant 3.0 "Why when I was a boy, we had the
command line - if we were lucky! Had to make our own stone knives,
too!")
Eh, it works. Which may be all that really matters.
