3.0 out of 5 stars Maps out of date, 6 Nov 2005
By Mr Gumby (UK) - See all my reviews
  
The 2006 version still doesn't include the new layout at M4 J.13 - pretty useless, given the complexity of that junction and the importance of getting it right. The maps are out of date in many other areas too, some of them reported by me using 'map feedback' two years ago. Very disappointing.

If you don't have Autoroute, go ahead and buy. For most users of earlier versions, it's unlikely to be worth upgrading.

1.0 out of 5 stars No good for postcodes, 2 Jan 2006
By Mr Nigel J Dibben (Hatherton, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Sorry, but if you try to find places in the UK by postcode using Autoroute 2006, you will probably be disappointed. I have tried half a dozen familiar ones already and 2 were right, 3 were not found and my own would place a delivery person 3 miles away. Someone has dropped a mighty clanger and should rectify this as Autoroute without reliable postcodes is pretty well useless to me. Does anyone know a remedy? My own solution was to reload Autoroute 2004 and check everything on that if it was missing or did not look right on Autoroute 2006 but this means that most of my £45 has gone down the drain.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy it - but don't expect too much, 1 Jan 2006
By Jeremy Burgess (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was given a speed camera locator for Christmas which is also a USB GPS receiver. My excitement got the better of and I immediately bought Autoroute 2006 to give me sat nav on my laptop for under £100 altogether. Oops.

I have been using MapPoint 2004 for work (Microsoft tool, Autoroute but with better data maping) and was hugely surprised to find that postcodes (namely my own) from MapPoint 2004 are now missing in Autoroute 2006! Route planning is in that respect massively short of 2004 version. Maps are more up to date (to about early 2005 it would seem).

On a plus side the GPS integration is pretty good. GPS trails mean I can see exactly where I have been (handy for work related stuff) and the spoken instructions are ok although well short of say TomTom. It's also reassuring to know that you can find out just how lost you are even though I have twice found myself directed down a local bridle way and once was on the A34 but in the middle of a large field (according to the map).

Buy it, it's worth the £40 but just don't expect too much.
