Why Are Offline Map Downloads Slow?
Summary:
Slow offline map downloads are often due to network speed, server congestion, or background data restrictions.
Steps:
Connect to a strong Wi-Fi network.
Make sure your device isn’t in Battery Saver or Data Saver mode.
Keep Magic Earth open during downloads.
Avoid downloading multiple large regions at once.
If the speed remains slow, try again later, server load may be temporarily high.
Notes:
Map files can be several hundred megabytes in size.
On Android, ensure Play Store background data is allowed if downloading via Google Play data sync.
