      @thanasis if you mean zooming out quickly, then yes, I also see a black grid quite often recently.

        Did a ride today, after a soft reset, to my usual area and had no issue. The question that needs to be answered is if it will work on an unknown area. Probably I’ll have an update tomorrow.

          Long ride yesterday, completely new region, lots of map using, no problems faced, not a single black tile.

            @Panagiotis-Kritikakos That might be because of the soft reset… I have this issue when I don’t reset my watch for a long time. It is usually fine for several days after soft reset…

            S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
            Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
            Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

              The black grid that shows for a little can also be a system load / cache issue so a soft reset if it helps points to that

                The problem reappeared in a new region. Did a soft reset and the battery drains extremely quickly, 20% in 15min or so and keeps dropping now with around 1% per 5min. Any ideas?

                    @thanasis Batter dropped from 61% -> 20% in approx 1.5-2hours. It stabilized in 20%. I deliberately dropped it to 6% and then charged it fully. It then seemed ok. I just installed the update, the watch restarted, battery drops from 93 to 62 in a hour or so… Something is hapenning here.

                      I’m still experiencing the same issue. After about two weeks without a reset, my watch starts showing black tiles in locations that previously worked fine, particularly at zoom levels of 200m and below. These tiles refuse to load, even after waiting for several minutes.

                      Curiously, the very same map tiles will load correctly if I physically move about two km away from the problematic location and then pan the map back to check.
                      A soft reset resolves the problem, but it always returns after another couple of weeks. This strongly suggests an ongoing issue with the map cache.
