Downloading map takes a very long time

Suunto’s cloud service that throttles the downloads
but… you can download maps for the mobile phone that are much faster… so… if we think, same server is delivering them… this should not be the problem…
Anyway, I can live with it

Fair
they don’t
I think it has been mentioned when maps download was introduced, that the watches processing speed is the limiting factor here.
So, yes. It is slow and always has been slow.
While newer watches are a little faster.
The watch processors are selected to consume as little energy as possible for long battery life.
Thus they can handle the data transfer and unpacking only slowly.
As it is only required a single time, it should not really matter.
