Customer Reviews of Microsoft AutoRoute Europe 2007

Almost as good as Streets and Trips, but not quite.
This is a good, basic routing program. The interface is similar to Microsoft Streets and Trips but the data base is lacking. There is a serious deficiency when it comes to street names in the less urban areas. This program will serve you well in traveling major roads between cities and it will serve you well in locating streets in urban centers. but if you need to find your way around the countryside, it won't be of much help.

"Beam me up Scotty!"
I felt a little like the navigator on the Starship Enterprise sitting in the backseat of our rental car peering into my laptop screen during our recent trip to the UK. But this is a great solution for GPS navigating and trip planning! <

>The mapping is easy - not only does it work on addresses but AutoRoute also comes with built in names of places and landmarks. Even a Park and Ride carpark outside Bath was already there, as were the names of the National Trust properties we visited. Finding the way to change settings was a little mysterious, but once I had the hang of it, I appreciate the ability to follow and anticipate by zooming in and out. The built in voice was pleasant and economical in giving directions - but having a full screen gave so much more information than a standalone GPS device. How can a small screen show the English roundabout? The GPS device itself consistently held onto 8-10 satellites while on the side window of the car. <

>The cost of this package and an adaptor for the power supply for the car still was less expensive than a standalone GPS, while being far better than a rental car GPS if available. And it provided another justication for hauling my laptop around Europe!

witht he GPS locator device, its quite great
I recently used this software and GPS while driving extensively around Scotland (never been there before). The only important issue is that you need another person in the car to keep an an occasional eye on what's happening on the laptop if you're in a new country and arent familiar with at least some of the roads. <

>I would plan the route the night before and mapping that out was a breeze. When first learning the software, it takes a good hour of one's time to figure out all of the different things the sofwtare can do but the basics can be learned in 30 minutes. <
> <
>It was VERY handy if we went offroute to simply press one button to give us directions to get back on route. In our over 1000 miles of driving in Scotland, this software only goofed once when creating driving directions and it was an obvious goof that was easy to see and fix. <
> <
>Faults? The GPS hardware was perfect. No complaints there. The software knows streets of course but it doesnt understand street addresses like 28 Main Street. It will only get you to Main Street. So you need to know the cross street of whereever you want to go. You can learn that info simply using any on-line maps (which do undertsand street addresses). <
> <
>Over all, we never had to look at a paper driving map ONCE. As long as I planned my waypoints the might before, there was no problem getting to where we wanted to go. <
> <
>If you are somewhat patient with yourself learning how to use new software, and you'll be traveling with someone, you really should check out Autoroute. <
