So I decided to download all of the available maps in the app, and I noticed that if I force quit the app and then open it again it takes forever to load my actual location.
When I only had 2-3 maps (my country and some neighbouring countries) it loaded instantly, but after I download all of the european maps now it takes 2-3 minutes to load and sometimes even crashes.
Is this normal or is this a new bug to report?
Try here maps or magic earth.
Thanks, but I prefer not to sideload any apps.
I just want to ask @urszula if this delay/lag is normal when you download a lot of maps in the native app, and I really hope it is something that the team will look into! Having in mind that they are optimising the navigation in the July update…
So, I did a test today. I have downloaded all of Europe + Russia maps. A total of 71 GB on my SD card.
I force stopped the app and switched it on again. I took exactly 9 minutes and 30 seconds to actually load up the map.
In the beginning it shows just a blank screen, then the dot shows up and eventually it loads the map and my location. But almost 10 minutes is absurd…
From time to time it even crashes. So, @urszula what’s up with that?
See pictures:
@astratev I will ask our team about this. I’ve never downloaded ALL the maps, just what I need at the time that I am traveling.
Well, I should be able to download all of them, if I like 
Once it loads (and if I don’t force stop the app) it works just fine.
So there must be some explanation and hopefully something that can be done.
@astratev I know 
Our team is looking into this.
