I have a Garmin Nuvi and my maps are a year old and I live in Los Angeles. Do I need a map update?

I dig the Garmin, works well, but don't feel like a map update is really worth the $90 that Garmin charges for lifetime map updates. Does anyone disagree with that? Do you live in LA and have found that having the most update maps are an absolute necessity when driving? Is there something I'm not considering? Thanks.
Answer:

I don't it's worth updating. It's still going to be wrong sometimes. Last time, I used a GPS from Raleigh to Wilmington and we were looking for a Golden Corral in Wilmington, it led us to an abandoned lot. It was "updated" apparently and it still led us to a wrong location. So, no. I don't think it's worth it.

Nah! The present streets haven't changed much, and the recession puts a damper on construction which creates new streets. For the present send that $90 bucks on something else. I find my old Thomas Guide map book from 1987 is still reasonably accurate. Very little has changed.

Streets in LA do not change much. Never considered using a GPS here.
