Maps Partial Update Rollout, July 2025 [Limited Countries]

[GiPFELKiND]

@Honza we waited 2years for the “new” Maps and now some users Report that many Details are missing at some zoom Levels. Where track lines are complete away… And only colored sections we can see at the Maps… i cannot believe this.I am at the tyrolien alps in Austria next week. I will Report how the maps in the alps there work for now.

Hello, it’s been 7 months since the last update for the french maps on m’y vertical.
I can’t see any new updates. I live in South France.
Is it normal?

@GiPFELKiND Thanks…I can read.
We are the 19th of July and some french users had already the map update.

@Kramble I live in Türkiye. The current map doesn’t even show the main street in front of my house So I don’t have any hope for the update.

The selection of map sections is still a challenge. In Germany, I can’t download any of the federal states in their entirety, and the divisions within the federal states are completely arbitrary and incomprehensible.

Why not download 100 km around the current location or a selected point on the map? Or draw a rectangle and download the covered area? There are simply better solutions than the current one.

Yes, it’s a shame because one of the major advantages of OpenStreetMap vector maps is that updates can be automated. However, it seems that Suunto does it manually

@pilleus totally agree, it is OK if you are in your home region (for me anyway) but when you travel it is so hard to work out which maps… I’m of to Scandinavia for my summer holidays and it isn’t easy working out which maps I need! Hopefully I have them all…

On the plus side the maps are super responsive.

@Audaxjoe you have so much space in your watch, so you can load füll scandinavianemaps. Then you are sure you have all.

@GiPFELKiND I more or less have I went across Spain early this year and missed one region and ended up with a black map ‍️ Trying to make sure I don’t make the same mistake again.

But there must be a better way of selecting region… A map you can just click regions on maybe.

However in the grand scheme of things I can see why it isn’t prioritised.
