New version - or new maps?

[metroace]

I wandered onto the ViaMichelin store today and found this notice:

A new version of ViaMichelin Navigation will be available in a few weeks. If you already own a ViaMichelin navigation software product, register it now and you will receive a special promotional offer!

I know there has been debate on this before about whether it would be a new version or just new maps. Of course, perhaps we are losing something in the translation from the original French, but the site does actually say a new version.

Any thoughts?

Here's the French :

Attention, une nouvelle version de ViaMichelin Navigation sera disponible dans quelques semaines. Si vous possédez un logiciel de navigation ViaMichelin, enregistrez-vous dès maintenant pour bénéficier d'une offre de mise à jour privilégiée.

It's just the same !

Right, in that case, we can be sure that Michelin are stating that there is a new version in the offing. It would be nice if they can sort out some of the bugs that keep coming up.

Personally, I would like to see the ability to navigate by way-points and for the software to stop getting mph and kph mixed up when calculating estimated time remaining.

There are several bugs, and annoying little problems, but the lack of way-points is a serious omission.

Let's hope they follow TomTom's pricing strategy of charging just Euro 59 for the upgrade to TT v5 which included CDs of the maps.
