I don't know to be honest. I suspect that out of ignorance I am doing serious overkill. I've got a decent cable connection feeding the wifi router but am only up to 3/4 on the "processing maps" dialog. Not sure if it is updating *everything* to all levels above 2 or just the area I am currently observing.

I have been going for a "full set of maps" with the idea of seeing what the advantages were for each. I think that perhaps the VE set and topo might be the wiser choice and just keep my GPSMAP76CS for serious work.

I had picked three areas that I am at least vaguely familiar with. Seattle area north to Canada, Chicago area, Atlanta area and Jacksonville FL area to the coast and south to St.Augustine. I think :-) :-/.

The more I learn, the less I seem to know :-/.
