Changes made from version 6.40 to 6.91:
Updated to support new US Daylight Savings Time rules for 2007.
Added QWERTY keyboard option.
Added support for the modified drawing styles present in certain
specialty maps.
Improved Garmin Fleet Management Interface and GPS Buddy
capabilities.
Added support for several voice languages. The voice files are
available for download using WebUpdater http://www.garmin.com/products/webupdater/
Improved address searching in the presence of multiple overlapping
maps.
The 'Better Route Available' traffic feature is now automated. In
cases like road closures or extreme traffic, recalculation is
automatic.
When a route is active, show on-route traffic delay on the main map.
When not routing, display indication of traffic ahead on main map and
provide distance and type using voice.
Emphasize relevant traffic on the main map by only showing traffic on
your route or the road ahead of you.
Other traffic interaction and presentation improvements.
Other minor improvements and corrections.

I installed the beta software and lost all 50 of my saved routes but
waypoints were still in the unit. Make sure you back up your routes
you have saved in to MapSource. Also with webupdater there are 9
additional voices available. If you install every voice available
there will be 657.1mb left in the supplement area. All 9 new voices
are non text to speech.
