Downloading maps through Express is painfully slow

Seriously Garmin, why don’t you do something for your servers? Everything else works perfectly, the watch (Fenix 8 Solar) is amazing but Express is super slow. It always has been, with my old Fenix 6 pro the story was exactly the same. My connection is completely fine before you ask me, I’m on a 1.2Gb optical fibre connection so “it’s your connection” doesn’t stand a chance here. The bottleneck is on Garmin’s side, and checking the forum it seems that I’m not alone, since years.

  • What does slow mean to you? I use a 400 Mbit connection and need about 30 minutes to update the Europe map on a tactix 7 pro (~10 GB).

    How long do you need for how many GB?

  • 4 hours for Europe maps unfortunately, I think somehow I always connect to a slow mirror dedicated to my region but it’s only a supposition, I really don’t know why it’s slow only for Garmin
