Two upgrades annually entirely enough

Do you think there is something a lot of important in these upgrades

As luck would have it! Release 2014.20 contained the all significant and numerous number of negligible changes in Finland for about the last 2 year. But if you was waiting for 2 year it is no problem to wait for another 3 month!?

I think Garmin does not have sufficient resources to compile so many maps every 3 month. It is called as the growing pains.

They do have a legal loophole though. This is from the 'Requirements' tab of the EU LM page [nice place to hide stuff you don't want ppl to read. Score 1 for the Legal Team , 0 for the Consumers]. My emphasis in red:

Terms and Limitations

If you purchase a nüMaps Lifetime subscription (sold separately), you will receive up to 4 (four) map data updates per year, when and as such updates are made available on Garmin’s website, for 1 (one) compatible Garmin product until your product’s useful life expires or Garmin no longer receives map data from its third-party supplier, whichever is shorter.

Note the other nasty. If they stop receiving map data from the supplier they can drop you like a hot rock. AU Sensis is now only updated twice annually, soon that may stop altogether because Garmin switched to Navteq/HERE for map data exclusively on new devices well over 2 years ago. I can't see them continuing to pay for Sensis data ad infinitum. Will be interesting to see what they do when all the 1/2/3xx0 LM holders scream blue murder if they do drop Sensis completely.

The other above posts are fair comment though for EU because the data is the same in EU and EUU releases.
