Why is the map update im garmin express is so slow?

I get a download speed of 34 kb/s or less on a 1G optic fiber, where video games that weigh tens of gb download in less than a hour.

Before you say - i have no other downloads, nothing that throttles my speed.

I don't understand how garmin express takes more than 18 hours and more to download 6 GB, when in the same system i download video games that weigh 50 GB in a hour or so.

That's an issue that I've seen arising in the past, and i don't understand what programming wizardry Garmin has done to achieve those download speeds, but this needs to be addressed

See the thread linked to. Fact is many have no issues and map downloads complete for me in around 30 minutes. If the thread linked to doesn't help you contact Product Support for detailed help on your system.
