How long does it take to restart?

Former Member over 5 years ago

it takes a long time loading maps and I don´t know if it´s normal or could be a problem.

The same happens with "Around Me" application for me..

"Around me" I think takes a long time for everyone, 20-30 seconds or something.

But loading other maps is pretty quick for me, pretty much instant

I mean if you power off your device and then turn on again , in my case takes too long "loading maps" until show the watchface

It depends. How many maps are installed on your device?

For me after a hard reset or a map update it took more time, 1-2 minutes AFAIR, after a simple off/on or restart 10-20 secs. I have two additional Openstreetmap maps installed.

Thank you for your help.

Maybe something is not working properly with one map added because it took more time maybe ~10min after a simple off/on...

The problem starts after a maps update using Garmin Express recomendation.

Then all was very slow but trying different .img maps I finally found where the problem is:

-All the problem dissapear if I remove the gmaprda.img file but I don´t know if it´s important or not, Could you tell me what this file is for?

Thanks again

I too just noticed a longer restart time, and seems to be due to maps. I did some update the other night in Garmin Express for maps.. it was a big one.. and now each time I restart the watch it takes a lot longer vs. before. I also seem to have more battery drain vs. before.. tho, this maybe due to v8.10 who knows. So, in short.. is it normal?
