The clock freezes every time I press CONFIGURE MAPS

Custom Map is fine with my old 945 but it freezes every time I press CONFIGURE MAPS with my NEW 965.

I heard same issue on 955 but wonder no fix for a year.

  • Thanks for posting, I would love to create a report for this. May I have permission to reach out to you via email to gather some more information?

  • I have the same problem. This is my first Garmin watch with maps. I am not able to use the custom maps (Open Street maps).

  • Hola, soy usuario del 955 pero tengo el mismo problema.  Lo he reportado en el foro correspondiente en varias ocasiones pero no he tenido respuesta alguna. Me gustaría contribuir a solucionarlo. Gracias

  • Same problem. After installing any OSM map the clock freezes when I want to configure maps. After deleting the installed OSM map it works fine with the TOPO Active. But I prefer to use OSM

  • Please, anyone who experiences the freezing issue, write here in the forum, that you give permission to Garmin to reach you out. They cannot contact you further without this permission.
    I would do it, but I am not getting the freeze, only the map is sometimes not listed among the other maps for me.

  • Hi. I'm also getting the freeze when I go to "Configure Maps". I have a custom map installed from OSM. The map is installed on my Garmin 955 (FW 15.17) but I can't view the map since I can't configure the watch to display the map. The watch freezes and I have to hold down the power button to get out of the freeze. I give permission to Garmin to contact me about this issue. Thank you!

  • I am also concerned by this issue. I put three custom maps to the watch, because I did this with my Epix 2 without problems. But I couldn't choose one of them because the watch first freezed and then rebooted. This happened even when I tried to install only a small map < 200 MB.

    Interesting is also, that installing the maps didn't work with Garmin Basecamp (newest version), there seemed to be too little storage. Of course there is more than enough free storage. I had to copy the maps with Windows Explorer to the watch, but the maps couldn't be used, as described above.

    Garmin can contact me, if further information is needed.
