      Since the last software update (version 2.53.42), it takes a very long time to download the map. My configuration is the same: the watch is plugged into the charger and lies 20 cm from the router. A 200 MB map takes 5 hours to download. The WiFi connection sometimes breaks, so the download needs a couple of restarts. The process is always the same: the selected map downloads up to ~18% in 2 hours, then the connection crashes. A Swatch soft reset is needed. Maps always take a long time to download, but it’s now awful.

        odd, mine is ~190MB and it took barely 20min or so

          @snow no issues here. I downloaded 5 maps to my ne V2 in about an hour and later another larger map in under an hour. Have you checked your internet connection/stability? Restart your modem and router?

            I don’t have any numbers but downloading was quite slow. I was wondering if the watch used wifi or did the download via bluetooth. (Watch was on the charger and wifi was configured correctly)

              @elbee watch uses WiFi for map downloads. I left my watch at home while I ran an errand and all the maps downloaded without issue. The charger is no longer required- but the prompts still say to do it.
