So what's the difference between the v7 and the v9. Just more up to date maps? Or firmware impreovements also?

I still haven't upgraded my Nav disc from the original version that came with the car when bought new. I'm not sure if it's worth it or not, any feedback from anyone who has this version?

I ordered it last week. The release date is 9/1. Should arrive early next week. Expensive but no more than an external TomTom 340XL.

It is not available until 9/1/09 and Sewell will begin shipping the pre-orders then, of which one is mine. As I read the Sewell rebate form, only the prior version 8.1 disc is eligible for the rebate. Anything earlier doesn't qualify. Attached are the release notes for the latest version.
