map download problems

[aarons1x1]

hi,

I am currently riding a bicycle up through SEasia (in southern thailand at moment, will head to cambodia, vietnam ) am using garmin world basemap on an oregon 450 for navigation (educated guessing).
have been trying to download the thailand and viet-camb-laos maps (3 days of attempts now) but complete files do not appear to be downloading (fragment only that cannot be unzipped). I don't seem to be having any problems downloading files from other websites, just this one...

any suggestions for a resolution?

cheers

Hi aarons1x1,

Everytime when somebody reported a download issue, I redo the download. From my connection, it has been always successful. But, I admit some person has a problem at some place because multiple people reported download issues like you. I can only suggest you to try on different and better internet connection, different PC. It seems to be even you tried to download from same PC at the same location, you can never be better than previous trial.

regards,

Ryo

I agree with Ryo. I was facing similar download issues on other websites using a shared ADSL connection.
Since I changed to my "own" 8Mbs connection all my earlier issues are solved.

Since you are traveling I would recommend to look for an internet cafe with fast connection.
They might be slightly more expensive, however the difference pays off.

Hope that helps
