Thank you for answering my question. I thought that's what was going on, the problem was that I didn't have anything on the list of updates checked for updating. The software must just take it on itself to download what is available for your device even if you haven't selected it. I did select the US map after I had updated the firmware and got a prompt that there wasn't enough storage to update. This device doesn't have a micro sd slot only internal memory. So I guess I would have to remove a map before updating it with the newer one. It came with US & Canada for free updates.0 -

The Europe map on my Go5200 consumes over 8GB of data.

The Via 1625TM does have a micro SD slot capable of taking extra memory cards. I would recommend a 16gb or Max 32gb Class 10 card.
