Map updates
-
More than two months ago the SV is released. Until now I have no idea how map updates come to my watch.
I started to participate on OSM to update the map in my environment (great with GNSS accuracy of SV) but don’t get this benefit back on my watch maps. That’s a pity!

As far as I know, they don’t. Today when a map is updated (it happens) you need to know, delete and download it again. This will change in the future.

@isazi This is not really satisfying.
I can’t find a date when a map is generated so I don’t know if i take the effort to delete and load a map. At least this should be possible.

@Mitch9 until a proper update mechanism is put in place, and unless you are in contact with support for a map but and they tell you to delete and update, there is no way for you to know, so the advice is don’t delete and download maps again just for the sake of it.

@isazi I’m still waiting for a proper map update mechanism which you described packaged in a future update.
SV will get a similar software version like the software of SR (if I get the information in this forum correctly.)
Can someone with a SR tell me, if there is some kind of map update mechanism on the watch?
Almost half a year no map updates is really annoying. I help on OSM to improve the map and only get these improvements on SA, not the watch. This is the biggest SV critic point for me!

@Mitch9 maps on Race are the same as on the Vertical, nothing changed.

@isazi no in the RACE maps you only have 2 map options: light and dark. In Vertical you have Dark, light, Outdoor. Outdoor is complete missing on the RACE

Not exactly.
Outdoor in Vertical is Light in Race.
Dark is the same.
Vertical has a high contrast variant, that Race currently don’t have… -
@Egika thanx

@Mitch9
Agree with you, I also update osm maps when needed, and I would also like to have these updates in my SV… one day, but not I decades.
