        @Olaf-Gottschalk right. I’d like to see the search function to tell me in which map the small city of Lippstadt in Germany will be included. Right now you need to know where it is and then zoom around the maps regions to find it in one of them.

        But hey, there’s enough memory. maybe I just download the whole Germany and am done.

          Cause: I have absolutely no clue about for example the names of departments in France I travel to. This text based approach requires knowledge only locals have or a really intensive search with still a lot of possibilities to miss something.

          It’s known issue and hopefully will be taken care of in the future

          In the same time:

          IF YOU HAVE ANY MAPS SUGGESTION PLEASE USE OTHER TOPICS OR CREATE A NEW ONE.
          This one is about specific maps data update, not a place to put all maps-related requests

            Can I ask for clarification? Do I understand correctly that at zoom levels 1km and 2km, there will now be no contours and no paths making those zoom levels basically empty except for major roads? Or does this just mean the contours are still there, just further apart with less resolution?

            Having no contours seems absurd to me in outdoor watch and I can’t test this because I need to make sure I don’t get this update if what I understand above is true. I rely o the maps in the mountains and I don’t understand what they’d be for without contours. Having contours at 200m and below is also quite useless as you get only only a detail with no context.

              Yes. We got enough memory, but I fear I do not have enough time to get the maps on the watch… 😞

                  @SuperFlo75 maybe I did not listen well, just in that part of Germany the map tiles are not set according to the federal states. So please help me if Lippstadt is in
                  Regierungsbezirk Arnsberg
                  Regierungsbezirk Detmold
                  Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf
                  Regierungsbezirk Köln
                  Regierungsbezirk Münster

                  (Actually I managed to find it by opening all of these and zooming into the maps…)

                  If I lived there I’d probably know…

                    @Egika Ok, you are right! I don‘t know if Wikipedia is going right?
                    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippstadt
                    I never was there… but I think in Bavaria this is not better…

                      @SuperFlo75 I am living in Bavaria and no, I have never even considered thinking in terms of “Regierungsbezirke”. I have / had no idea how to work with that information other than opening the map, zooming in and hoping I find what I was looking for.

                      I guess at Suunto they use some provider for maps - they categorize in these terms but no real human does. So this should not find its way to an end user interface.

                      The best selection for any downloadable map is just: let the user select a region drawing on the map, figure out by software which map fractions need to be downloaded and do it…

                        @Olaf-Gottschalk We categorize on country regions etc. We show the nearby regions. Wiki can help
