Latest map update makes Navigate - Around Me feature extremely slow to open

fenix 6 pro, v8.10, updated all the maps (very long update) last night and then the reboot took way longer than normal (Loading Maps).

Now when I try to open Navigate - Around Me, it hangs on the "Loading Map" screen for up to 30 minutes before opening.

Yes, I have already powered down and back up twice.

Garmin support suggested resetting the watch, but I wanted to see if others were experiencing something similar and had any suggestions before I do so.

Thanks in advance!
