For crying out loud and asking for new updates... tell us what you do after you downloaded the updated MfM map?
For me:
- Install into Mapsource
- Open Mapsource to check for anything new around my residential and office area (KBC abit).
- Check the routing/address search to some known places to see if the version is working fine. If not, report.
- If I contributed, will look for the update.
- else close Mapsource.
Wait, I also update my GPS... but only when I need to travel to unfamiliar places. Hence, I usually don't download the weekly update... to save bandwidth.
Thanks for sharing... Cheers!

Re: What Do You Do Everytime After You Downloaded MfM Map Up
What I do :
1-Update Mapsource + Nuvi + ETrex Vista HcX
2-Check all 3 for errors loading and report if any.
3-Check POIs vs daily travel. Unfortunately I live 1 km from office so not much to see / contribute
