Are there any plans to teach Garmin Express to download/use "patches" for the map installs, rather that downloading a full City Navigator North America map-set (full install DVD, 4.6 GB) every time?
Sitting this time out in the middle of the boonies looking at the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, there is hardly even cell phone service to run my hot-spot (and for sure no fast Internet to grab on to).
Just a couple of weeks ago I downloaded the full 2014.30 map set update (from a different but almost as bad location), which between failures/disconnects and slow downloads took me almost 2 days (and ate up a way large chunk of my cell-data allowance, yanking out a total of 7+ GB on the way).
Now 2014.40 has arrived; I would assume that not all map-segments really need to be sent out every time. Only segments that actually changed?
So when a previous version is already installed, it would seem a fairly simple matter to allow download of a patch delta instead, and "create" that next version locally, rather than having to download a full install DVD+ across the Internet on every update?
