Yes, you should.

A search of the forums should provide you the answers, but basically you need to Copy (and not Move) the data from the Nuvi's internal drive into a directory on your PC as a backup. You need to ensure you include Hidden files too.

A firmware update can render the unit useless (without a backup).
