Re: Update times
If you run a speed test and it looks OK, it could be the routing from your ISP onwards. You could try changing your DNS settings to 1.1.1.1 and see if that makes a difference.
I’m in the UK on a 200mb/sec line and I get a 200mb/sec download from Garmin, so I know it should be faster than you are getting.

Re: Update times
Thanks for the suggestion Alan. I've set the DNS to 1.1.1.1
I have a Nuvi awaiting an update, I'll give it a go tomorrow. Will this setting affect anything else on the laptop?

Re: Update times
I'm only on a 30 meg download and showing 1 hour 20 mins at a rate of 4.1 MB/s
I wonder if there was a problem with your ISP as that seems a long time at that given speed! or maybe a problem with your WiFi?

Re: Update times
It's always been pretty much the same--extremely slow update times. I did connect via an ethernet cable after Alan's suggestion. Also, following Alan's suggestion, I reset the DNS.
I've just plugged in the Nuvi for the update and it's absolutely flyin'!!!
6MB/s and less than 40 mins to completion (according to Express)
Edit--the rate has now dropped to 3.4MB/s but still more than 10times faster than before. Big thanks to Alan SH

Re: Update times
next time there is an update try it on a night again to see if its slow
the speed may have been throttled at busy times although if your package sates you should get a minimum of say 50 meg then you should have decent speeds at all times

Re: Update times
This is a very good point that I'd forgotten about. I generally do all of my updating beginning at midnight-ish. Lunch and evening time traffic makes my internet connection scream to a crawl.

Re: Update times
Are you suggesting that the map downloads TWICE for simultaneous PC and device update?
