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.
