Hi @GUV
I see that your VIA 135 device has the Europe map update service active on it. Please follow the steps in thelink here to check for the updates and redownload the map on your device.
Please try using the Wired (Ethernet) connection since WiFi may work but can be slow causing a Time-Out. Even if the download or installation appears to stop or freeze, keep it connected for 4 hours, then check if the download has been completed. Best order to update 1 by 1.

Check the first 2 Characters of the serial number
Some of the Via 135 devices are EoL (End of Life) and the maps cannot be updated
