Why does the offline map for my current location (downloaded and active) not display on my android (Samsung Galaxy Ace) screen, although OSM does display my vehicle speed and position [derived from phone GPS]? The screen displays a message saying "No offline vector map present for this location" - but I have downloaded vector map for my lovcation and it is active. I must be missing something obvious I suppose!

I assume you have a third party android navigation app running, that will probably be where the problem is, not OSM map data.

@dogbert: which app do you use? However, it may be more usefull to ask the app creator's support or read their help pages. Note: OSM itself does not create any apps.

To view maps off line the app you have running needs to have stored or cached the map while on-line. The app may have settings for this, so best to read the apps help files.
