I wish I had read this before buying my 60Csx with CS7 (unlocked May 24th). Garmin confirmed that I will not qualify for a free upgrade Nothing like paying top dollar for obsolete software.
see my e-mail and Garmin's response below:

Inquiry:
I recently purchased City Select 7 and unlocked all the North America maps
on May 24, 2006.
Will I qualify for a free upgrade to City Navigator 8 when it is released?
I understand that City Select will no longer be supported.
Request emailed to sales@garmin.com
Dear Glenn,
Thank you for contacting GARMIN International. You will not be entitled to
update to version 8 at no charge. However when our mapping company releases
the update sometime this summer they will give us some guidelines to work
with our customers that purchased a previous version prior to the update.
When you see that version 8 is available send me an email and I will see
what we can do to help you with the update.
If your replying to this message, Please include all correspondence.
Best Regards,
Dan Goretskie
