Downloading map takes a very long time
-
@larrybbaker “super fast” BT business WiFi (next to the router plugged in) then finished off at home after work
-
@Goatee I have 1gig speed to the house and run eero mesh routers throughout the house and my watch downloads off and on the charger are great.
-
@larrybbaker I think Scotland alone took 5+ hours
-
@Goatee so I decided to test Scotland - not that I’ll ever use it. App showed 957.9 MB download size.
Start 7:53 pm finish 8:32 pm: 39 minutes elapsed.
Watch NOT on charger.
Vertical 2 latest FW
IOS 26.5
iPhone 17 Pro.I’d start investigating what you are really getting for internet service speeds and your hardware.
-
@larrybbaker not even here…
-
Race S, Vertical 1 have a slower processor than Vertical 2.
My Vertical 2 is also loading maps way faster than my Vertical 1.Since you do this only once a year or so, I think it does not really matter. Just leave the watch on the charger over night and it will be done.
-
@larrybbaker I’m sure someone else said about Scotland being a really long download too
I had the phone & watch on charge
Race S
Samsung S25 Ultra
Android Suunto beta app -
In my experience, it takes too much time (hours).
There is a bottleneck somewhere, and it’s not the internet connection or router, since the offline maps for suunto app takes minutes or seconds.Perhaps it’s the watch procesor, memory… i think the slow item in this chain is the watch
-
@suzzlo watch being the bottleneck makes sense. I did go ahead and test my V1 with the Scotland map download and it took just under an hour. So I still think there is more to it than the watch.
-
This map update took sooo long also on my SRs (around 8-9 hours for whole France)
It has been noticeably faster to perform it on my SV1 (I would say around 20/30% faster - even it’s still long).
High speed WiFi, watch on charge less to 1meter from internet box
