Downloading map takes a very long time

@Michał said in Downloading map takes a very long time:
Since the last software update (version 2.53.42), it takes a very long time to download the map. My configuration is the same: the watch is plugged into the charger and lies 20 cm from the router. A 200 MB map takes 5 hours to download. The WiFi connection sometimes breaks, so the download needs a couple of restarts. The process is always the same: the selected map downloads up to ~18% in 2 hours, then the connection crashes. A Swatch soft reset is needed. Maps always take a long time to download, but it’s now awful.
odd, mine is ~190MB and it took barely 20min or so

@snow no issues here. I downloaded 5 maps to my ne V2 in about an hour and later another larger map in under an hour. Have you checked your internet connection/stability? Restart your modem and router?
-
I don’t have any numbers but downloading was quite slow. I was wondering if the watch used wifi or did the download via bluetooth. (Watch was on the charger and wifi was configured correctly)
-
@elbee watch uses WiFi for map downloads. I left my watch at home while I ran an errand and all the maps downloaded without issue. The charger is no longer required- but the prompts still say to do it.

I have longish download times as well. Like the updates on all the installed maps (less than 10) took 1-2 hours. But that is not related to the new version and has been that long before…

I used fast WiFi & to download England z Scotland & Wales was nearly 11 hours
-
@Goatee what is your internet speed? 11 hours seems crazy!
-
@larrybbaker “super fast” BT business WiFi (next to the router plugged in) then finished off at home after work
-
@Goatee I have 1gig speed to the house and run eero mesh routers throughout the house and my watch downloads off and on the charger are great.
-
@larrybbaker I think Scotland alone took 5+ hours
-
@Goatee so I decided to test Scotland - not that I’ll ever use it. App showed 957.9 MB download size.
Start 7:53 pm finish 8:32 pm: 39 minutes elapsed.
Watch NOT on charger.
