Edge 1050 New map updates wont download over WIFI

Does the map download continue when the device goes to sleep? I have my Garmin 1050 connected to external power and am downloading the North America map. However, the device keeps going into sleep mode, and the download appears to restart each time. If the download continues in the background, that’s fine, but if it does not, I don’t want to spend 10 hours keeping the device awake in order to complete the process.

  • Downloads do not continue when the device goes to sleep. So you need to disable the Auto Sleep feature, see Main Menu > Activity Profiles > your activity profile > Auto Sleep.

    Or use a computer with Garmin Express to add or update maps, that is much faster and more reliable.
