I second that. The digital versions lack the detail that is available on paper. I own all digital assets and can only play it via online platforms and the maps are essential from time to time.
It worked for emerald empire, it can work for other digital versions too.
There is a high resolution map available on DTRPG.

the resolution is so high I cannot DL it on my phone and it lags horribly on my computer. Ergo it is only a mediocre product

I have those, I use those. They work.
Big problem with them is, that they are 4th edition. So they show places and routes that may not exist in 5th or do not exist yet.
And they are not the art style that ffg is going with L5R. I love the rokugan map from FFG, but it is not large enough and does not have a high enough resolution to be useful other than for show.
Same with the other maps, they are pretty, but they are not functional. For example the Mask of the Oni Daylight Castle Map. It is pretty, but there is only one version that has labels on it. One without would be cool, and one without the hidden caves and tunnels (Same with Emerald Champion Castle Map) and so on. Not to mention the same problem with resolution and size.
I can work with them, but they could be more functional. I play exclusively via online platforms, as mentioned in above post, so those things are key and necessary for smooth play.

Photoshop can be your friend.

I only play online too. Fortunately our campaign doesn’t really need maps. Though it might profit from them.

And Photoshop is my friend for the multiple games I run. For token, maps, assets etc. But that is not the point. The point would be to have maps ready for use upon purchase. And that comes back to the original point that high resolution maps would be nice for several reasons.
5th ed does have decent resolution maps now. They were attrotious before.
