I have such a connection with Mediacom, and realistically get about 80 Mbps under ideal conditions. In my case, the download step of 6.91 GB took about 20 minutes, probably because of delay caused by Garmin servers. However, the map creation, activation, and file copy (including installing the map to computer) took an additional 31 minutes. For a total of 51 minutes for the complete process.Granted, my old laptop is no longer the fastest(although it was in its day), but still even if I had a new whiz-bang computer, I don't think the whole process could be completed in 20 minutes. Maybe for my old 755T where the download size is about half of the 3597. Used once again Alandb cloning method on my 3597 & all went wellIt took 27 minutes to download (I have an ISP connection of 30 MB/s & Garmin Express was showing a steady 4 MB/s from the beginning till the end). It then took 2 minutes to write onto my SD Card which was in a card reader & I would say another 25 minutes manually transfering the various files from the SD Card to the device.
