Download speed in BaseCamp

Hi,


I just bough a Garmin Zumo XT.
I connected it to BaseCamp on my Windows 10 PC. I used this app for the first time.

I am downloading the BirdsEye images around my place to upload them in my Zumo but the download is very slow.
I am connected with optical fiber and my usual download speed is around 350Mb/s. BaseCamp download speed is less than 1Mb/s.

Is there a solution to improve BaseCamp download speed ?

Thank you everyone for your help =).

  • No way to speed it up, that I've ever found. I'm also running on gigabit internet here, downloading a 230mb file (seems to be the max size allowed per file) takes about an hour. Been that way ever since I started using birdseye last year, and I've never figured out a reason for it, other than probably the birdseye server is severely throttling it for some reason.

  • I'm trying to download BirdsEye imagery for my new GPSMAP 67i and apart of the "painfully tedious and slow" process of selecting 300mb chunks of imagery (why can't we just select a large area and the app splits automatically into chunk size it wants / chooses???), the download speed is EXTREMELY slow for they day and age we live in. Basecamp downloads imagery with the whopping speeds of ~100kb/s. 

  • Please don't piggyback on other questions, closing here. Start a new post describing your problem. Thanks
