Cannot download offline maps on Suunto Vetical Ti

Brad_Olwin

@gone-troppo Once the watch reaches I believe 90 or 95% charge it slows down charging. When left on the charger to download maps the watch will trickle charge. There are safeguards built in to preserve the battery. This was discussed extensively during testing and the field testers were informed that this issue is dealt with in the watch.
So leaving the watch on the charger for many hours to download maps will not affect the battery life.

Great to hear mate, this watch is incredible

@gone-troppo that’s pretty long time. Did it work eventually? I downloaded 700 megabytes in less than two hours yesterday.

I’ve filled mine with almost 32gb of maps… just for the hell of it …took me roughly 24h, but can’t tell exactly

Hey mate I’m at about 95% nearly there yewwww this has been about 3 hours a day for last 3 days will be finished today when I get back from my trail run.

If you have a look at the suunto maps qld Australia is about the biggest one they have, our internet here is most likely prehistoric compared to what you all have over in Europe. I don’t know anything about internet speeds but I’m sure Australia is behind Europe at least where I am

don’t worry, it works the same with highspeed and lowspeed connection.
I’ve got a mobile wifi on 4g and works the same way with my phones 5g hotspot

@Wilson75 are you sure that the charger didn’t moved ? If watch is not on charge it will interrupts maps download.

@Wilson75 check the obvious mentioned before:

connection to charger is good (clean contacts from grease etc)
Wifi is within range
No firewall in place

thanks all. I did a soft reset and it fixed it as always.
