Just make sure the update is worth the money. Your current version may newest. Mine was only 2 years old, so I passed on updating till there is one this year or next. other options is Google maps, Garmon, or other biker friendly GPS that update for free.
All H-D maps through NaviExtras are exactly 2 years old when they are released. They just released a version in January and they are as current as 2018. This is not speculation, it comes directly from the 'Navigation Team' at H-D.

...I'm mainly interested in doing the software update as opposed to the map update. I find it ironic that you can buy a brand new Garmin unit with free updates for less than HD charges to simply update your current unit.[/color]
GPS units are so inexpensive now because no one buys them. Just about every vehicle rolling off the assembly line today has built in GPS. If not, there are many great GPS apps you can download to your smart phone. By the way, you can download your route to your phone while at home on your WiFi so you are not using your cellular data while on the road.
I'd suggest NOT getting a map update from Naviextras. They are total bullshit and usually more than a year old for $150. Presently, you can use Apple Carplay and if you can wait it out (HD is notoriously slow...) HD has released information that Android Auto will be released this summer...in which case, we pretty much will be freed from the inept and bloodthirsty Naviextras out of Romania. Just my opinion...
Navietras, Apple Carplay, or Android Auto..... can't play without jumping through someone's hoops......
