Cultural Tip
In Spanish, 'sí' (with an accent) and 'si' (without) are pronounced the same but have completely different meanings—affirmation vs. condition. Pay close attention to the accent in writing, especially in formal contexts like travel instructions. Also, the verb 'descargar' is widely used for digital content such as maps, apps, and music, so native speakers will instantly understand the reference to a downloaded map.
