Edge 530 takes super long to calculate route

My brand new Garmin Edge 530 takes a really really long time to calculate a route. Like a 50 km route created with Garmin Connect app or Strava can take 10 minutes to calculate when I start the route. Is this normal? Because its pretty ridiculous... Disappointed

    I have the same issue. However, it does not happen with every route. I have tried twice with Komoot and twice with Strava, one for each was fast, the other extremely slow. Distances between 35 and 60km. And it seems to me that the Edge does not completely respect the original route...

    I have the same issue but only after the last firmware update. Now the strange thing is, that for myself I created a new profile long time ago named "Gravel". And when the calculation for the ROAD profile takes very long, I cancel, I switch to GRAVEL profile and calculations suddenly are very fast. The only difference in the profile is the route based on gravel, same GPS settings.

    did anyone try if it makes a difference if you upload a TCX instead of a GPX?

    I use Strava, Komoot and sometimes ridewithgps. I auto-synch the route into garmin connect and then use my iOS GC app to send to the device (although sometimes that last step isn't necessary). Mine typically take 2-4 mins for a 80-120km route, which is fine for me.
