1.5 GB??? :wtf:

To me, 1.5 gigs is not an "update" it is a complete overhaul.

:crazy:

3. Firmware updates can be like that
My iPod Touch has 500MB updates because you cannot upload and change part of the OS, you need to reinstall everything.

6. I have a Garmin Nuvi
I like it because I can update it. Unlike the built in versions, which let you buy a new DVD once a year.

7. I have a Navigon 2100
I am downloading the update - all of the software is on a 2 gig SD card. Once the file is downloaded, I hook up the device and initialize the upgrade.

10. LOL
But those maps do not talk...

And I spend so much time around here lost, that it is nice to hit the "take me home" button and do what the nice woman tells me to do.
