Whether the concept of a map is universally understandable is not a
question I can really answer, I would suggest getting the opinion of

I raised though, such as keyboard navigation and network name labels
being cut off are still valid and would need to be fixed before
release.

No problem.  Thank-you for taking the time to work on it.

Robert.
