UpDating Versions

Is it better to download and update each time a new version comes out, even though nothing in the update pertains to you, or wait until a update version comes out that has updates that affect you? That is, 1 small download vs. one large download that may have 2 or 3 versions in it. I'm thinking it may not be good to push Nuvi with too much info. (download) at one time?

updates

I see no reason that you can't update to a new version. I am sure that Garmin will not supply an update that will not fit into their gps. Generally the updates are not much larger than the original software that is supplied with the gps.

Thanks raybonz. I guess

Thanks raybonz. I guess what I was really saying or getting at.....ver.2.70 updated for EU cities, Hide scroll buttons and added Brazil and Mexico to locale list, which none of I need.
But, if I wait for ver. 2.80 it will install that, plus the 2.70 which would be a larger download.
Maybe crazy thinking.

it's up to you

Whatever you want to do is perfectly OK. Do you connect with a broadband connection or via dial-up? If Dial-up you may decide to wait until the next version comes out. I tend to stay on the leading edge of technology but that's just my preference..

I use Broadband HighSpeed.

I use Broadband HighSpeed. I like to be up-to-date also, so guess I'll continue as they come out.
Thanks
