 AutoRoute Europe 2007 January 29, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you have used MS Streets & Trips, then you'll know your way around AutoRoute. We are using this to plan a trip to Europe next May. Based on my knowledge of locations in Britian, the software appears to be pretty accurate. If you want to use this with a GPS that does not come bundled with the package, expect some frustration. I still have not figured out how to get it to talk to my USB based Garmin unit. I think it is possible, just do not know how.
Tremendous! January 21, 2007

As far as GPS software goes, there is nothing better available than Streets & Trips and AutoRoute. There are dozens of features that you can't find with the self-contained GPS units. It is easy to add multiple stops and to optimize them into the best order, night-view is another great feature, as are the topographical maps. The new feature offered this year, of easy-linking to satellite photos of places on the map, is also a welcome addition.
The only reason I'm giving it a four is because of the following:
1) There is STILL no ground-level or 3D view of the roads for use in the GPS function
2) They still haven't added an option to exclude roads that ban trucks or commercial traffic form using them.
3) There isn't a lot of coverage for Eastern European countries, most notably, nothing in Russia.
Nonetheless, it is still better than any other GPS software on the market.
 Inferior to North American version January 18, 2007

Microsoft AutoRoute Europe 2007 provides the same mapping services and Microsoft's Streets & Trips (North American) application, but with annoying bugs. Exploring an area (zooming, selecting, panning) has caused me to crash often. Some restaurants remain displayed even though I have unchecked the restaurants box on Show/Hide places. Some minor roads that show up on Internet mapping sites for Europe, such as Mappy or ViaMichelin, aren't included in AutoRoute. And I have had it advise me to leave a controlled-access major highway where no exit existed to follow a phantom "local road" into downtown Cordoba.

Hi all. This software both SUCKS and is GREAT. The diffuclty is in Overpasses and off ramps. It gets easily confused with you being "On Route" and "Off Route". OFTEN it would tell us to turn right, or "Take Local Road", and we would miss our turn. What was GREAT about the software was being able to locate yourself on the map, and tell what you really needed to do. Navigation is a little clunky, and takes some getting use to. We used this software in Germany and a little bit of Switzerland. The other options was a Garmin with Europe Maps, for Hundreds of dollars, or this simple program. We utilized the "Microsoft GPS received" that comes with their US product. It did allow for printing of maps, and was worth the price paid. HOWEVER do not think that you can simply jump in the car and use this as a 100% navigation aid.

AutoRoute with GPS receiver worked well in Italy. The only problem I had is that it does not automatically re-route when I miss a turn.
