Map black grid issue very often
-
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
-
The problem reappeared in a new region. Did a soft reset and the battery drains extremely quickly, 20% in 15min or so and keeps dropping now with around 1% per 5min. Any ideas?
-
@Panagiotis-Kritikakos flash the new firmware and test
-
@thanasis Batter dropped from 61% -> 20% in approx 1.5-2hours. It stabilized in 20%. I deliberately dropped it to 6% and then charged it fully. It then seemed ok. I just installed the update, the watch restarted, battery drops from 93 to 62 in a hour or so… Something is hapenning here.

I’m still experiencing the same issue. After about two weeks without a reset, my watch starts showing black tiles in locations that previously worked fine, particularly at zoom levels of 200m and below. These tiles refuse to load, even after waiting for several minutes.
Curiously, the very same map tiles will load correctly if I physically move about two km away from the problematic location and then pan the map back to check.
A soft reset resolves the problem, but it always returns after another couple of weeks. This strongly suggests an ongoing issue with the map cache.
