download is ridiculously slow. 1.2 kbs REALLY?

Former Member over 5 years ago

I checked my upload and download speed, it registers at .45 meg per second and .50 meg per second. remaining download time jumps between 7 hours and 20 hours remaining. I have been a Garmin fan for a long time. but wondering if maybe giving one of their competitors a chance now.

nothing else takes this long or now where near it. 1.2 Kilobytes per second? REALLY? and do not say it is my equipment ! I checked no problems here.

Well something is wrong somewhere as my speeds are way faster than that, you may find your ISP is throttling the download, this FAQ may also help support.garmin.com/.../

no throttling down , I gave Garmin hi priority. still no change. There was a program called CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess running with Garmin. I shut it down. I had about 16% downloaded after a day and night of downloading. I live on an island in the Caribbean and power and internet can sometimes be intermittent. when My network hiccuped the Garmin restarted and I am now back to 59K speed .3% complete AGAIN . 15 hours and 19 minutes estimated DL time! this is maddening! I figure if I spent as many hours working and getting paid by the hour at normal rate. I have put in about $500 dollars worth of time on this problem so far.

all I need is local maps for the island of Roatan, off the coast of Honduras. Maybe there is a way of getting local map for here.?

Try calling Garmin to see if they can help with your problem.
