Not tried it, but from reading up on the subject, the DVD's are just copied onto the memory stick. Bear in mind that the DVD's are dual layer, so you'll need at least an 8Gb stick (Disc 2 -the largest - comes up as 7.68Gb or 8,252,635,136 bytes). I recall reading that if you interrupt the update, it asks for the first disc again, briefly, before it continues where it left off, so you may need at least 2 sticks to save you waiting ages having to copy onto one stick.

gpsunderground has a few threads on the subject
