Feedback on the update is appreciated. Update for all places will be later this year.
Strange, no people gave any feedback ?
As near the big mountain my local maps are updated, i can give some feedback.
First, thanks for the job on this.Second : my feedback collected during latest hikes.
i am sure that the altitude between countour lines for each zoom level has been discussed heavily while generating the new maps
I am just opening the discussion for others also to comment.500m zoom : contour lines are separated by 10m, right ? like for below zooms.
Map is at the limit of having too much lines.
The threshold between very steep areas and flatter ones may be difficult to determine to have perfect experience everywhere.
1km zoom : not exactely sure what is the elevation between lines (30m ? 40m ?)
it is also (to me and in my area where slopes are quite steep) little too much lines. but we can definitively see the suroundings.
2km is nice :
5km : nice as well but some strange “straight lines”

@Mff73 Wow! This is exactly what I have been waiting for! Can’t wait to get this update! Thanks for the post
-
I just want to show my appreciation here. Even though I don’t live in any of the supported regions, I really appreciate this being rolled out slowly. I was almost giving up hope. Now I trust it will come to all/most maps reasonably soon. Thank you!

sound like a Tour du Mont Blanc i think!

@pavel-samokha Any updates on when we’ll see map updates for other regions? End of year still the goal? Thanks.
-
@duffman19 it’s on the table ofc, but I can’t promise when exactly update happens

You may need to restart your watch to see updated maps in your area, as previous version may be cached in watch memory
Do you have any information on whether the zoom level on the maps is also increased on the Ocean? Currently only 2 KM? On the Vertical / Race it is 20 KM…
