News from Garmin Support re City Nav V8.0

I received a reply from a Garmin rep who asked not to be
directly quoted that Nav V8.0 should be out in a couple of
weeks. He obviously advised me that I may want to hold off
purchasing V7 for a little bit. ;-)

That means they will announce it in a couple weeks and it will be available
in a couple months, right? So if you upgrade to V7 after V8 is announced,
you will get a free upgrade to V8 when it actually ships as has been
standard practice for earlier releases?

Likely they will post a specific date at the website re "free
upgrade" at the time it becomes available. Upgrading to V7 after
that is safe; before that it will be a bit of a crapshoot.

Steve,
Let me put it to you this way. If you were to buy v7 today,
but the v8 is released in July, you would have to purchase
that upgrade too. I really think that v8 will be released
here in June, so my advice is to wait a week or two and then
just purchase v8.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank You,
