Map black grid issue very often
-
@inkognito quite spot on on zoom in out . I have noticed this as well and it has worked every single time , although I don’t usually have issues with the map unless I leave it on for long a period

@inkognito said in Map black grid issue very often:
Zooming in/out a couple of times sometimes helps, but not always. A soft reset solves it.
It seems to happen more often when I travel to locations distant from previous activities and use the map there. Even those I’ve visited before and it worked fine there.
I agree with your analysis. I had the issue two weeks ago I was distant from my day to day activities.
Zoom In/Out solved the issue every time. -
it seems though that it is more frequent now than it was in the recent past…
-
I had that as well and deleting and redownloading the maps helped. Not sure why. Just saying in case it helps .

it could be a cache refresh related problem

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Redownloaded the map just now, and immediately got several black tiles at 200m zoom near my location. Waiting several minutes and zooming in/out didn’t help. A soft reset did help. The issue is that sometimes the same location works, sometimes it doesn’t, possibly depending on cached map tiles. My feeling is that it is not really a corrupted map issue that a re-download would solve, but rather really a cache/memory-related problem.

@inkognito ,@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos redownloaded the map . saw the grid immediately as well. coincidence?
-
Coming back to this … it seems something related to another thread (?) pulling - showing the map ?
It seems the grid is more evident when fast screen changing occurs -
@thanasis if you mean zooming out quickly, then yes, I also see a black grid quite often recently.
-
Did a ride today, after a soft reset, to my usual area and had no issue. The question that needs to be answered is if it will work on an unknown area. Probably I’ll have an update tomorrow.
-
Long ride yesterday, completely new region, lots of map using, no problems faced, not a single black tile.
-
@Panagiotis-Kritikakos That might be because of the soft reset… I have this issue when I don’t reset my watch for a long time. It is usually fine for several days after soft reset…
-
The black grid that shows for a little can also be a system load / cache issue so a soft reset if it helps points to that
