    Unfortunately, I would put on my money on this.

    If you are not sure if it even downloaded, that's the first 50% that will take some time, it just used the old already downloaded map data (and as we aren't seeing map updates, the map data is not chaned), firmware has not been changed on the watch. Garmin Express has been updated, but people have had issues still with it. So only thing that makes sense is that.

    Makes no sense at all indeed, perhaps something with the gma files (the garmin map activation files), they are reinstalled/restored and not stored on the pc it seems).

    Only trhing I know is that it is working now and keeps working (restarted for the 5th time, still booting in 45 secs and maps still responsive when zooming in/out, around me).

    Yep, what I've looked at the MD5 sums, only the GMA files changes, not the maps files. So yes, I think also that it has something to do with the GMA files, but then why/what/etc kind of hard to understand.

    Idea that the GMA would have sometimes so hard calculation to check that it would take so long and sometimes not, does not really make sense either.

    Reading error, would just fail totally..

    So yes, can't make any sense of this.
