[Shrink]

I was in the same position as you and after doing some research in other online forums learned that version 8 will not use version 7 maps. I can see the point for European maps as version 8 maps have been released but none for North America. I have yet to find a hack to bypass this. For me, however, the Garmin maps are more accurate than the version 7 iGo maps so I am not missing much.
