In this use-case, having the download trigger earlier would cause blue/green tiles never to become visible - ie making sure they are downloaded before they come into view.

I admit this does increase download amounts a bit. Maybe this can be optional or only done for the route ahead (if any).
I had this problem especially when I was using in portrait mode and did ~90 turns.

When not routing maybe rectangle area or triangle where the forward area is further away and when routing then rectangle follows current route in advance.
