The only thing that worried me slightly is that they announced this version way back in March or something, so hopefully the delay is because they were determined to release a stable 7.0.0

Forgot to ask - are you sure you can update the maps with revised road info? I was under the impression you couldn't for v6, and looking at the ALK site, they don't mention this as a new feature :O(
Hi Mike, I've had this new version for a couple of months now, and there has been a lot of performance and feature tweaking going on in the background from ALK, hence I would think the release delay.

I don't think you can alter the maps yourself, but the automatic updating facility will allow ALK to update the maps with revised road info, and ALK insist they will be placing a lot of priority on customer feedback for this release.
