What Do You Do Everytime After You Downloaded MfM Map Update

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!

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 :(

I download to mapsource and view my contribution in order to check further missing or error that being submitted by me.

And browse surrounding area that is still virgin to be in my tracking list or POI that need to recorded and contribution.

My GPS.. not every week update.. I'm happy with update my GPS every monthly.

Cheers!

For me I update into mapsource and check against my contribution to make sure they are accurate as intended. Do not update my nuvi unless I need to use it.
