MapSource is not a standalone product, but rather an update for existing MapSource users. You need to have a previous version of MapSource installed on your computer before you can download and install the latest version.
The latest version of MapSource is 6.16.3, which was released on October 25, 2010. However, some users may prefer to use an older version of MapSource, such as 6.15.6, which was released on April 23, 2009. This version is sometimes referred to as the "special" version, because it has some features that are not available in later versions.
What's New in MapSource 6.15.6 Special?
MapSource 6.15.6 Special has some improvements and bug fixes over the previous version (6.15.4). Here are some of the changes made from version 6.15.4 to 6.15.6 :
Fixed an issue with the file save dialog when the file extension field is hidden.
Fixed an issue where MapSource would crash if the route avoidance dialog would be displayed twice.
Fixed waypoint category filter issue. Now only waypoints of the selected category will be displayed.
Some users may prefer this version over the later versions because it has a simpler interface and less memory usage. It also supports Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, and Windows 2000, which are not supported by later versions of MapSource.
