Downloading map takes a very long time
-
@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.
Vertical 2 latest FW
IOS 26.5
iPhone 17 Pro.I’d start investigating what you are really getting for internet service speeds and your hardware.
-
@larrybbaker not even here…
-
Race S, Vertical 1 have a slower processor than Vertical 2.
My Vertical 2 is also loading maps way faster than my Vertical 1.Since you do this only once a year or so, I think it does not really matter. Just leave the watch on the charger over night and it will be done.

@larrybbaker I’m sure someone else said about Scotland being a really long download too
I had the phone & watch on charge
