I upgraded from my single navi DVD for 2009 to the two disc 2010 navi DVD. What was the purpose of going to two disc's? I read that it was to make loading time quicker, but I find it slower. Anyone have the same problem?

My problem is I live to close to the divide. I will not upgrade to the new version just because I don't want to have to switch back and forth between the two DVDs. Seems the folks who came up with this plan didn't think anyone actually lives in the mid-west.

thought my disc #2 was a bit quicker than the '09 while calculating for the fastest route, at least it seems like it. Either way no complain here since I got the downloaded version. Gotta love the freebie version.
