Download Offline Maps is not possible

[Con Hennekens]

@daryl-4, I know the app causes some headscratches concerning the off-line maps, but I have never seen the problem you are describing. I would almost think your firewall is blocking access to the map-server (which is HERE and not MRA btw). Are you able to use some one else his internet connection? Or try it over 4G? What kind of device are you using?

@Con-Hennekens
Feel lucky not to face these issues. I like the sentence Its HERE Maps, not MRA
At last I spend the whole day downloading a few offline maps for testing the new navigation app. Maybe it works on one of my five devices?

[Con Hennekens]

@daryl-4, Having that same problem on all your devices, while clearly everyone is able to download maps (be it with hicups) in my view is an indication of a problem that lies in your internet connection / firewall / VPN or whatever infrastructure. Did you follow my advice to try your neighbours wifi or GSM data?

Hi Daryl, I had also some problems. It took me three or four attempts, mostly at times when others were not on the internet, to complete my maps for a few countries. But in the end they were downloaded.
It doesn't work perfectly, why I don't know? Maybe they use different servers for user in Germany.
What I find stupid, however, is that for a few small updates you have to completely re-download all the maps. I'd better not do that at the moment.

@Jörgen, TomTom and Garmin devices also exchange the complete map data for each update. But you are right, that can be done cleverer on a smartphone. In fact, it has been done cleverer, by only downloading the delta's of the maps (the changed parts). However that function (of the HERE platform) was so desperately unstable that the dev team decided to take it out and redownload the complete maps instead. I do hope HERE is able to fix that AND the troublesome complete downloads soon!

Or is the code in MRA just rubbish ?

This definitely must be it!

Would be an easy fix if it was just that, wouldn't it

I had the same problems. But when i download the map in sections it was oke. When i this week for the first time the maps downloaded i had an old version. Direct after dowloading the maps i had downloaded the new version and then it was oke. But downloading the new maps (just a smal part of Europe) takes about one houre.

I hope did helps you.

I'v read the discussion and understand this concerns the navigation app.
This brings me to another question: is the functionality of offline maps only available for MRA Navigation, and not for the MyRoute (planner) app (Android)?

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@CARAMBA

Correct, only for the Navigation part.

[Con Hennekens]

@CARAMBA, Forget about the Navigation app. It is EOL en does not work anymore. The New Navigation module (Next) is built into the existing MyRoute-app (previously called "Mobile").

Offline maps in the new app are HERE maps and only used for Turn-By-Turn Navigation. For that to be activated you need the Navigation subscription (same subscription as before).
