The advantage of using this method is that you don't brick your Nuvi if the Transfer fails halfway for any reason whatsoever.
Using an SD Card connected to the Computer or a VIRTUAL SD is just as safe as using a USB PEN DRIVE.
I prefer the USB PEN DRIVE as I have lots of 4GB's to spare.
Point is not in Internet! As say my IT people: we'll take all that can give your requested server - let us statement of work and a couple of hundred square meters only. But USB PEN DRIVE is slowest and unreliable device for storage today. The only reason to use it is a small size.
I use BaseCamp and Mapsource very often and very very grateful for the patch. I can keep the files on the harddisk and test it directly in the same at the moment (Nuvis and other "my" Garmin are in other places of Europe or in Russia usually and I need to send already tested and ready version). VIRTUAL SD is good as variant too but it is need to configure! I just think illogical to write data to a USB PEN DRIVE that would then reupload them to a computer for processing...
