Can I stop the System Software Bundle (17.28) from installing and just install Map updates on my Garmin Fenix 7XSS ?

With so many issues with recent Fenix 7 Software Updates (15.77/16.22/17.28 I've had to revert to 14.68 as my OS on my 7XSS, there are a number of Map updates available so can I just install the map updates using GE?

Thanks in advance

The watch does not ask if you want to install the update, only when. There is no way to prevent the gupdate.gcd from being copied to the watch. This affects every device firmware.

Exactly, and if you don't have your wits about you then the update continues as soon as you disconnect your watch.

What's needed is the ability to stop the update/upgrade as you can from the Garmin Connect App, can't be too dificult for Garmin to add to GE

For now the maps can wait but thanks for your replies
