Correct. The downside is you CAN't make the message go away sooner by pressing a button. You have to wait until it decides to remove the message. Several seconds but sometimes having to wait can be an annoyance.

My 2009 TCH came with 7.1. I assume it is the latest, unless the sales guy just gave me the wrong DVD.
Actually, I really miss my TomTom. The Tom Tom would always change the Map direction so I could easily see that left turns are left and right turns are right. With the TCH, a Right turn might be up or down relative to the screen.

You have to change the map orientation. Click on the compass icon in the upper left of the screen (map). When it displaces a "N" that means the top of the map will always be north. When it displays just two triangles (think one is red and the other white) the top of the map will be where you are heading...thus making the right turn be on the right.

You should have received a Navigation Supplement with your TCH. If you purchased it new go beat on your salesperson to get one. Otherwise everything discussed is in there.

Re: 6.1 VS 7.1 Nav Disk
I also bought the "8.0" release off ebay. Works fine and has all the over rides, however the seller must be a smart teckie who changed the DVD version to say dvd 8.0, but if get into the secondary service screens - the maps are still 7.x..
there isn't a true 8.x release as far as my research shows, but I've been known to be wrong before. Made a backup copy and it works fine also... Found more streets the 6.x I had
Better but than the big $$ Toyota wants
