A GPS Question

Hi, i'm almost ready to take my practical test, and i'm planning on buying myself a present afterwards...a GPS

I was pricing them, and obviously they're all pretty expensive, which doesn't bother me, i know it will be worth it...or will it?

On to my question. I was looking at a GPS that displays cities, roads, airspace and railroads and i just had one question. If they display all that, how do you update them as things change? obviously they update sectional charts every few months, and there must be a reason for that, the fact is that things change. What good is a GPS that displays false information? The airspace is the biggest variable in my mind, what if somthing changes? maybe a Class B airspace is expanded and you forget about it while looking at this outdated GPS that shows somthing different. How does all this work...anyone?
