boom gts software/map update question
I'm sure this is a rookie question but I'm not the most computer literate person. Can I use the same USB stick to update both software and map on my Boom GTS or do I have to use two different "sticks" per update? Any other info for this procedure is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Maps Update
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.
good luck.

I agree. 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.

I save all updates on my computer in case I need to go backwards.

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...

You are probably right about the data. I have an unlimited data plan with Verizon (whom I dislike as much as Naviextras) out of necessity. Good luck whichever way you go...nutt'n is cheap anymore...lol
