Yes, that post AND update was done BEFORE NA2015.Q2 license was posted by X6. No map license is need when it's used in non-NextGen (iGO/Primo) release but NextGen require license for map/poi/building/etc...
Anyway, I was not very impressed with earlier release of NextGen, but the latest Avic release is much better. Fast loading time (around 6 secs instead of 20+ secs) and online TMC works too!
