Fmc 10.7

Hi everybody, I'm F/O on 737NG. Our FMC software has been upgraded to 10.7. But i have no doc regarding differences between 10.5A and 10.7. As my company didn't give us anything yet

, does anyone has something on that?
Thanks

It seems that if GPS is lost the FMC gets rather jittery. Does this mean FMCs no longer use VOR/DME for area nav purposes?

10.7 will provide alert in the event of loss of GPS data to the FMC. After 30 sec of data loss a message will be displayed on the CDU. On ground alert time is 10 min.
Also,in case of any position discrepance a message with the condition that generated the discrepancy will be displayed.
