If using the same computer clear cache. If different computers, uhm, I'm not sure. How long are you waiting for the download? On slow connections there is sometimes quite some time before everything is loaded.

It sounds like a slow internet connection, the map sizes can vary greatly, but I might be wrong :)

Looking at screen capture, I see a couple of things that might cause problems. 1) Norton is running some operation. A lot of Antivirus programs will suck memory big time, and if running updates and/or updating definitions will chew up bandwidth even on hi-speed connections. 2) looks like you are also streaming audio (and vid?) on privatradio. Also a big chewer of memory and bandwidth.
If you happen to be using 3G or 4G plug-in antenna to access internet. there might not be enough bandwidth to handle all the demand.

Plus your battery is getting low. :-)

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
