AutoRoute [Posted on 2008-03-23]
I am no fan of dictatorial monopoly companies. But this software is so good that it overcomes my dislikes.

Useless for Eastern Europe!! [Posted on 2008-04-08]
Microsoft AutoRoute Europe 2007
I purchased this product specificly for Slovakia & The Ukraine. They don't show any roads in these areas. The description led me to believe that Microsoft had improved these areas. I've used Microsoft Streets since its inception, and I was very disappointed to see what a poor job they did with the Europe version.

Helpful [Posted on 2008-04-15]
I traveled to Greece last month and visited Santorini and Crete. The program was helpful but it would have been better if it showed the roads in those islands. I was able to trace my routes which made it useful on the way back. I still recommend the program.

Could be better [Posted on 2008-04-28]
Hi,
I bought this software because I am taking a trip to England soon.

The software is ok, but it could be better, I am not a fan of the zoom. You have to go up to a zoom bar to adjust. I also own Delorme Street Atlas and I fing that software much easier to use from a functionality standpoint. To Zoom in the Delorme you drag a box, or stairstep out. (I know that isn't clear, but once you do it it's easy)

However the price on the Autoroute is what sold me. I will be using it for about one week, and will probably never use it again. The fact it sets up with a GPS is very cool, I am a fan of using a laptop as a GPS device, I will never get a pocket size one.

Buggy; hard to navigate [Posted on 2008-05-07]
You can't hide all places - that is a minor annoyance. The real problem is that it creates driving directions that are impossible to follow. "Local road, name changes to local road for 184 yards," for example.
