Hi Jess,
If you have unlocked the Deluxe version, you should be able to update
from the Home Tab.
As you've discovered, Legacy 7 isn't yet available on the website for download.
RE the Mapping tool.
It requires Internet Explorer 7 to work.
It also requires the Deluxe version to be unlocked.
Right clicking on the toolbar will bring up the tool bar customizer in
