We have an older Garmin & we bought the "unlimited" update/downloads for it. I noticed that after the last time I installed an update (September) the time to "acquire" routes takes a much longer time. It's not a big deal since I always check the maps because the Garmin likes to send you on wild goose chases through areas because the computer decides that the route it wants you on is 1/100 of a step shorter, even though it leads you through 47 different side streets where a much more direct route is available. While it can be very helpful, I never use it without first looking at a map.
