The major and most obvious improvement in Autoroute 2007 is the integration of place relevant search terms with Windows Live. Details, including sat picture details of place names and specific locations, can now be displayed at the click of an icon

Other than that there's not much I can see to suggest that there's any need to upgrade from Autoroute 2006 (which can now be bought quite cheaply).

The map coverage of Europe is very disappointing though. There's very little coverage, other than main road coverage, of eastern Europe beyond the German border. Maps of parts of northern Europe including Sweden and Finland are also very sparsely detailed as well - maps of Spain and Italy also don't enjoy the detail I was hoping for. Most Europe wide dedicated sat nav units have maps that provide high quality road mapping data. Not Autoroute. Autoroute's mapping provider Navteq provides the detailed data which isn't however included in the Autoroute maps.

But this is a slick bit of software to be sure - the interface is intuitive to use and the screen formatting is very clever.

I haven't managed to replicate the routing bug reported by another review (London to Heysham) and, so far, no bugs are obvious.

I would recommend Autoroute and as long as your expectations, in terms of European mapping detail aren't too high, you'll probably be impressed. For UK and Ireland mapping it's the best there is.

Having read the other reviews I was worried.

Very worried.

But I only wanted autoroute for one thing

I am on the road a lot, and I can import from an excel spreadsheet the details of my clients and they appear on the map screen! So I can plan journeys to reduce maileage and with fuel prices as high as they are that soon saves the cost of the software. I have nothing to add on any other comment, but this feature alone makes it a must have.

1.0 out of 5 stars And it's still broken 23 Nov 2006
Following on from the fiasco of AutoRoute 2006 where they managed to miss most of the postcodes and the one's they did have were often miles away from where they should be, I was eagerly awaiting the latest release, since competitor products just aren't as good.

The 2nd route I attempted to calculate was London to Heysham, and AutoRoute 2007 thinks I should drive to Liverpool, catch the ferry to the Isle Of Man and then catch a ferry back to Heysham !!!!

This is a minor annoyance that requires adding a via, the main problem with AutoRoute is that Microsoft never releases updates for it to fix problems, so this bug and any further ones discovered will remain until 2008.
