Offline maps download issue on Lumia 950

Does anyone else have a problem downloading offline maps? I've been trying to download maps for entire US region and it hangs at approximately 15% - progress bar just stops moving. Wondering if it is SD card problem or something else. Tried to delete all maps, format card, but nothing worked. After it's being downloaded for a while I receive a message saying that downloading was paused because some app is using them - I assume it is a bug or something. Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.164.

I have this issue. I even tried downloading just Rhode Island and it never completes.

Same problem here. I have a 128 GB card and gigabit internet and even with 100 Mb download speed it hangs at the same place. I even leave it up over night with the screen never turning off and still nothing. Probably going to have to factory reset.

I have off-line maps for 21 US states/districts. No issues on my unlocked 950 dual sim.

It only seems to download when the phone is awake. Do I have to sit here for 12 hours keeping the phone awake to download the U.S.A? Resorted to doing one state at a time so I can at least see progress but this is ridiculous. Asking me if I really need the whole U.S.A doesn't solve the issue. :)

What app were you starting download from? Are you in Maps program or Setting, System, Offline Map? Try to close all application before download new map from setting menu.
