      @freeheeler maybe, but I have tried to download a 96MB map and had to walk around to get a wifi reception with a powerbank connected to the watch. Was not so fun… and didn’t work out.

        😂 now I would reeeeaaallly like to know what you’re thinking and what made you laughing 😉

        I like you see the glass half full, instead of saying that the watch downloads slowly on a fast wifi. 🙂

          …I was distracted with work… I wanted to say that the speed is the same and the watch has a slow wifi bypass functionality 😉

            @freeheeler I figured what you meant to say. I’m only teasing you 🙂

                Is there an intention to improve the maps a bit and on the way to increase the scale above 500 for the benefit of mountain bikers

                        With recent map updates, my SV was on charger a long time for map downloading, and during this download, the battery gauge didn’t change : no charge.
                        Is it normal, and designed like this?

                          @Mff73 This sounds crazy to me, because my SV is charging and downloading maps at the same time… but charging was much faster than downloading last time when I was updating the maps of Germany…

                            @Rokelly Not a good idea as running out of power while downloading would be bad.

                              @isazi How to download the map on the Race in WiFi? The app only works in conjunction with the charger.

                                it’s not possible to download without the charger. it was requested to make this possible, but some maps are very big and transferring time is long

                                    @freeheeler thanks for answering.
                                    I thought there was another option because I didn’t take my charger with me to Denmark. I ran without topography yesterday. I didn’t get lost.😊

                                        @laufbursche7 …aaaand everyone can see that Denmark is pretty flat, so you don’t really need to worry about the contour lines 😜

                                          @BrunoH Denmark is flat, that’s not the topic. I run 3 times a week in mountainous regions. It’s about not knowing the surroundings and it would have been nice if I had all the paths on the Route on my watch.

                                            Same issue today 🤔.
                                            Watch battery was 15%, plugged on the charger to charge and download maps.
                                            Maps were downloaded but watch is still 15%.
                                            Is it worth sending logs?
