Actually, Don, the install was the easiest part. I was just feeling
overwhelmed with all the maps and POI's to update. I finally just decided
to update my micro drive and then install the upgrade. But when it got to
be 11:00 PM and I was just on New Hampshire, I let myself have a break,
installed the upgrade, and played around in my neighborhood a bit. Now I'm
taking today off to finish copying maps and making sure I can load them
when I need them. I never did install ActiveSync, so just use a card
reader with the PC and BN to put stuff where I need it.
Thanks for the help.
