Loading maps on startup for several minutes

Hi,

Each morning when I switch on my wtach, it is booting but it stays about 3 to 5 minutes on "loading maps" before ending its boot.

Do you have also this problem ?

Thanks for your help.

I had the same problem with my F5+.

I just deleted all the maps I don't use. Made a backup first

Double check that you do not have any map files with duplicate file names. I had this issue and somehow had 2 of the same file on the watch. Deleted one and all was fine. Back to around 18 seconds boot up.

Ok, thanks !!

I removed all img file except gmapbmap.img and gmaptz.img and now everything is OK !

It stay about 20 seconds ont the blue triangle but after that everything is loading very quickly, just 1 seconds on Loading maps screen instead of 5 minutes. May be there are other files to clean ?

Thank you very much again for your tips for this issue !!
