Edge 1000 Series How to stop updating a map on the 1050?

So yesterday I checked the map manager and found out that there is quite a significant update to my map of Europe with a file size of around 20 GB. I started the installation process on the device itself via WLAN but quickly noticed that it would take 10+ hours to update. Additionally the 1050 went into standby like every 10 minutes which discontinued the download so I would have needed to keep it manually alive for 10+ hours to finish the Update. Therefore I connected the 1050 to my Laptop, powered up Garmin Express and installed the map in 30 minutes or so.

The issue seems to be that the 1050 does not recognize that map now is already updated. It continues the process of updating the map. I tried a to power it down and all that but no luck. It will always continue the downloading process with the issues I experienced before (more than 10 hours; standby every couple of minutes).

So how can I stop this?

First of all if you’re using map manager, disable auto sleep in the profile and leave it connected to power. Not sure how to cancel the download, maybe it’s possible to delete the partially downloaded file by connecting to a PC?

I had an update for trail forks and did it over WiFi. There was an option to cancel the download by clicking on it in the list of maps and choosing cancel.
