Fenix 7x SaphireSolar Firmware 9.20 - Bug on Map Manager

Found a bug on built in Map Manager.
Connected the watch via Garmin Express to my Mac and found that several maps need an update: (CourseView Americas, SkiView, CoursView Pacific, CourseView Europe, Middle East & Africa).
Updated it via Garmin Express so it showed me no updated Maps available.

Now on the built in Map Manager (directly on the watch) it still shows me "Updates available" for the mentioned Maps.
If I select it shows me the version (e.g. CourseView Europe, Middle East & Africa version 6.30) but no update choice.
So it's the most current one but in built in MapManager it's still flagged as Update available.

Can anyone reproduce it?

Resolved the issue on my Epix so you may want to give it a try on the Fenix as well. Go into the Map Manager on the watch and try to add a TopoActive region, which will sync the watch with the map server…

Sorry for the silly question, but where did you find the 9.20 firmware? I can't find it anywhere.

Yes, I was wondering the same. I thought 7.20 was latest?

Ah, that makes sense! Thank you for confirming!

Using your usb cable you need to connect your watch using a usb hub so not one from a computer.

After that you can press update on TopoActive and then the updating process will start using Wifi connection saved in your watch. I think this process will take some time maybe 4-5 hours....

Please check the link from below, section: MAPPING & NAVIGATION

Hi, i have exactly the same issue now with my fenix 7x pro. i updated all the maps using garmin express, but the watch still shows updates available for those maps. And WIFI downloading is ridicolously and shamefully extremely slow (5 hours for a map update?! seriously?!) for an 800 EUR device, but thats another story... i tried several things, like reinstalling the maps in garmin express and then restarting the watch and also tried the recommendations below but still the same. any ideas? thanks!
