Maps Update Rollout, March 2026, Staged

GiPFELKiND

@surfboomerang what maps did you downloaded?

surfboomerang

@GiPFELKiND It happened while updating part of The Netherlands and Austria.

Egika

@surfboomerang Do you have updates for Austria?
At least for Vorarlberg and Tyrol I don’t have updated maps yet…

Austria and Netherlands are not mentioned in the list of updates

Vorarlberg and Tyrol

Those two maps were updated as well yesterday.
I tried to find a version number to verify but I can’t find one

Edit:
Just remembered that my watch recovered from a failed state a while ago. (too many f*ckups with SuuntoPlus app development )

@pavel.samokha are maps on the watch removed when the watch is recovered? That could explain the downloads.

I can’t say with 100% confidence

@surfboomerang No, none of my watches have crashed while updating maps. R2, V2, RaceS.

Egika

@Brad_Olwin I think the question was, if maps could get lost when the watch crashes hard.

Stavrogin

Am I doing something wrong. I am in the US and are not seeing any map updates available. I tried on V1 and V2.

Thanks for any help.

Freezer

@Stavrogin, same here. I am currently in the US and no map updates are available (for countries/areas where they were already rolled out as per @pavel.samokha list).

Suunto App is 3.8.1 (21743).

Stavrogin

@Freezer same same. I was even on the beta 3.8.1 and nothing came through.

Is it possible some states have zero updates?

Freezer

@Stavrogin I also tried Slovenia and Croatia which are explicitly listed - no updates in the App

Guys, read the OP.

“If you country/place on the list below but you cannot see an update - wait for the next mobile app update”

Brad_Olwin

@Stavrogin All US is done, you need an app update that will likely come soon. I was able to test the updates and I am quite impressed with them. I hope other users will be as well.

I was able to update my US maps by deleting and re-adding them. However, they do not look too great on my V1. Contour lines are completely gone on all map styles at all zoom levels. And there is some strange behavior in the amount of detail shown when zooming out. Some tiles load more details than others. You can see in the image below that at the 5 km zoom level, the upper left tile still shows all of the available street data, while the other quadrants show almost nothing. Zooming in and out changes the amount of detail, but not consistently across all tiles. This is after a soft reset to clear any old cached map data. Maybe the upcoming watch software update will correct this??

On a bright note, two and a half years of my OSM contributions are now shown!

pavel.samokha

@duffman19 does it reproduce if you reset watch again and open map? Can you share the location with me?

duffman19

@pavel.samokha I’ve reset the watch 2 or 3 times and it is the same. It looks to be an issue with areas that have been micro-mapped in OSM (every house, sidewalk, driveway, tree, etc.) as if it’s information overload for the watch. I’ll PM you my location.

My software version is 3.8.1. Türkiye is listed, but no update has arrived. I guess I need to wait for the next version.

I think this updates going to take a bit of patience. Roll out doesn’t seem to be immediate everywhere. Suunto makes us all more patient.
