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
You’re right! I didn’t even realize that, even though I did download mobile maps too
And yeah this does seem like an understandable constraint of small smart devices.
I too am happy to have the convenience of WiFi downloads, even if they are pretty slow compared to bigger devices. My old Garmin Fenix maps downloaded way faster, but it was via USB cable and a PC.
But given the analysis here, the original post does now sound like a WiFi issue or a bug.
Maybe try downloading maps on some other place or WiFi…?
If the download speed is considerably less than 1GB / hour (or ~2Mbps), it should work faster and there are not many broadbands this slow.
