Update 740b from tablet

Would be nice to be able to push current maps, weather, .... from a tablet to the 740b. I find it is very slow to update two states FL and GA, on a monthly basis via Wifi. Yes I can pull the card or make a USB stick, but that requires me to pull my windows PC out... Using my tablet to push updates to the 740B on a private network would be great.

This is actually something we're playing with internally.

To clarify, this would be like having one device be a "mothership" for all the other devices and will most likely be for mobile devices only. still very much in early development

On a recent trip around most of the southwestern part of the US (5300 miles), it became a problem to update my 740b at a hotel that required a password. My iphone and ipad were easily updated, but I do not use them for primary information, especially because of heat related problems that cause them to shut down for indeterminate periods of time. It is good to hear that this problem is being addressed. Thanks.
