The only reason for having wifi is if you want to let it download maps and system updates automatically. Presumably it uploads your riding history as well - if you have given permission in the app.
Personally, I'd rather it didn't automatically download the day before I was going on a long tour. I'd rather leave it until I can upload what I want, when I want it. And since I have 4 Zumos to look after. (590, 595, XT and XT2), I like to do them all in the same week when maps come out. (It also means that I have a pre-XT2 unit - Express will put the latest maps onto the computer for Basecamp to access - for use with the XT2.

Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
