Bug: map is black with white grid
-
I just completed a 5-day bike trip and noticed that the Suunto Race map screen would occasionally show only a black background with white grid, as if the maps for the area weren’t downloaded. Yet I had downloaded maps for the entire state. Sometimes, the map screen would redraw correctly after a moment, other times it would not and just stayed black.
Has anyone else seen this bug?
I have firmware version 2.44.46.

@MRC01 This happens sometimes on my Suunto Vertical. Perhaps the electronics are too weak to handle the map display smoothly?

This is the issue from the day one…
Here is one of the topics on that subject…

@nseslija Thanks for the tip. Sadly, it looks like this problem has been around for at least 6 months. It’s been a long time since my watch was last rebooted or soft rest, so I’ll try that.
