Feature Suggestion: download maps when not connected to charger.

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

[Umer Javed]

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

[Egika]

@freeheeler @Umer-Javed you both got me right.
Have a nice day

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

[isazi]

@Danny-poleg yes, maps are being improved.

[Danny poleg]

@isazi You are great - we will patiently wait for the update

And ultra runners

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?

[SuperFlo75]

@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…

[Brad_Olwin]

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

[laufbursche7]

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

[freeheeler]

@laufbursche7
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

[sartoric]

and WiFi is energy hungry

[laufbursche7]

@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]

@freeheeler I ran the new route without topography in Denmark and found back.

[BrunoH]

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

[laufbursche7]

@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?

You are probably getting a new firmware next week

[Mff73]

@isazi
Is it a known issue which will be fixed with this new FW?
