Planning to swap 8000 to 8200. 

Should I connect it now and then get my map update...

Or should I wait. How often are map updates released ?

IIRC you have 45 days of free update after your unit receives its first GPS signal.

 

Map update are like 2 or 3 times per year it seems.

 

I'm pretty sure if you connect now you will have 2016Q2.

When do guys think 2016Q3 will be released....

I might hold off depending on what the official answer is on map update release
