My Fenix 7X pro solar will not download topoactive maps

Moved thread to Fenix 7 forum.

Do you download from the watch directly or via Garmin Express on a PC?

Hi, thanks for your interest, I try to download directly to the watch with wifi

I have the same issue. It says update available on watch. I tried this via watch and after several hours it fails. I assumed there was not enough space for the update so I deleted my map and tried again. Still fails and now I have no map. When it’s connected to garmin express it says it’s up to date and there’s no further map available. 
on returning to watch and entering mapping I still have no map.

once again on map manager on watch it’s available and the whole problem starts again and then fails to sync.

there doesn’t appear to be a fix.

any help is greatly appreciated 

Can you elaborate on what you mean buy this, I cannot find anyway to add topo maps from Garmin express onto my watch?? There is also no explanation of this on the Garmin website or in the manual for the watch.

I have exactly the same issue, purchased it from Amazon last week in the UK for the UK. The problem is it takes hours just to fail at the last minute. Garmin should be ashamed, they should state quite clearly that only the Sapphire version comes with pre-loaded maps and stop advertising it like it comes out of the box ready to go. If anyone from Garmin is reading then, please help, if not my watch is going to be returned and I'll buy a Coros. 

Garmin Express is an app you have to install on your computer.
I think you was thinking Garmin Connect.
Install Garmin Connect on your computer, connect your watch to it through cable you use to charge it and then everything become clear.

If you don't care to read product details on Garmin web page, shame on you.
All informations are there.

Details for standard model:

And for Pro or Sapphire model:

I hope you can see the difference.

Connect the watch to Express, click "Manage Maps"
