Downloading maps

Nathan....Just for clarification....when we go to download maps and we see the numbers in the boxes.... the 2.5 is the width of the download and the 2.0 is the heighth. Or, am I backwards? Sometimes it's hard to tell. Well, it's not hard to tell when I'm backwards.....but it can be confusing with the numbers. Thanks, Steve

Re: Downloading maps - What is your average download speed?

My map download speed is about one tile every 2 seconds at 1/4 detail level.
Is this about normal?
It doesn't matter if I am downloading on a 768kb line or a t1, so I'm guessing the conversion is the bottleneck, not the bandwidth.

Certainly could be normal. No real conversion takes place, but it is being written to the storage card in a database file. I would say latency, not bandwidth, is the bottleneck.
Others have also found that the speed of writing on your storage card makes a big difference.

Write speed to my storage card was the biggie for me. I reformatted the sd card to increase it's write speed and that really helped. Of course Jeeperman is the speed King.
See the thread on speed test.
