I have the support e-mail, TTS WILL NOT BE RELEASED for Version 7 !!
It will and who knows what is true anymore in Version 8

This is it for me.
I already send for refund.

Sorry for you all, I have more problems with this version.
Setting for Motorcycle, same BT receiver functions FAR better than on CPL7.
I am getting notifications so short, i would cause accidents.
End point is off by 50-200 feet.
This has been out for over 6 months and the claim they dont know about this, i read numerous forums and it sure is proven.

AND A MAJOR GRIPE.
The Text to Speech which was in version 4-6 is gone, this is ridiculous, I need to hear the streets.

- Unfortunately in the process of upgrade the entire program, the new Text To Speech engine was not performing to our satisfaction, very hard to understand and required a lot of memeory, and we had to remove it from version 7. We have been improving the Text To Speech engine and it will be included in version 8.

So, this to me is an interim Build, along with the other problems already confirmed here in this forum, I am utterly upset, ALK should NOT have sold a product version without the Most important Feature.
Given the fact that thee is a Motorcycle setting, this contradicts.
You do NOT want to look at a GPS especially not when the directions are so close to turning points.
To me this version is dangerous and an embarrassment.
I am now checking into OCN6 but I foremost am looking forward to IGuidance, it has never let me down.

BTW,
If they release it in V8, than you can bet this will be a BETA version, I have been all along with CPL and saw the total lack of responsibility to post patches.
What we got this time is a nicer GUI, it is slower as is.
I even have problems getting it installed from PC to PDA, even with a Card reader, this program is not ready.
No wonder they dropped the price.
I cannot wait till one company teams up with Google.
I don't get it, ALK says they get the Maps from the Counties, well, Google has points for years that are STILL not in CPL 7.....
There is a supposed to be the LIVE "Microsoft feature" I haven't even gotten that to work.
That would definitely make a huge impact.

"RightWay 200 GPS Navigator" uses CoPilot and on the Features sheet, TTS was listed. When will CoPilot release the TTS for us? Are we screwed!!!!???
