I've run out of free updates for the street nav (IGO) part of my HN6.
Before I shell out and buy the latest update could someone with a new HN7 or the latest map updates tell me if it shows the new interchange of roads near
Perth Airport, please?

Yes...my HN7 has shown them for a while. Seem to be regular updates coming through.

Cheers, thanks.
I believe my HN6 came with 2 years of free map upgrades and that time has
well and truly passed.
An upgrade now will cost me about $60 so I'll wait until I really need them.
Thanks again. It's good to know that that particular spaghetti
junction is on them.

Igo only update there maps once a year, late in the year so the maps dates 2015 are usually for 2016 . I always download my maps,pio's free and legal from gps
forum sites .The igo maps i use in my Andriod Tab on igo are the same format that the HN Hema navs use in there windows ce operating system so are interchangable . These a copied to the directory manually and it is very easy to do if you have some basic computer skills. Personally i use a Garmin Nuvi as my street navigatior due to free map updates many times a year for life as i work in the transport industry

Thanks Maurice,
yes, I use a Garmin too but I just mounted it on my motorcycle and it's going to be too much of a PITA to take off again so I thought I would force myself to use the less than friendly IGO in the HN6.
