TomTom and Autoroute

Hi,
If I havent got internet access to Tyre when I am out and about, I use Autoroute 2010 to do my planning.
Does anyone know if there is a new version of Autoroute out, or if there is one in the pipeline.
Cheers

Autoroute 2010 is the current version.

The previous version was 2007, so don't expect a new one before 2013. Wink

Thanks for the quick reply, at least I have the most recent one.

Although from what I can remember Microsoft was not going to put out its 2010 Version, hopefully they will put out another one in 2013

They always used to update every year, but at 2007 said they were stopping and issued a lovely new thing which was so much better and cost hundreds of pounds!

So I was pleased as punch to get 2010. Who knows, maybe they'll revert to annual updates. I got 2010 downloaded free trial, then bought the Disk version via internet. Previously I always kept an eye open for and bought renewals in the likes of PCWorld.

I supose when it comes to it how often do the roads change, a new version of the software every few years should be enough.
Unlike Tomtom you try to sell you updates every couple of weeks

When they were released I downloaded both AutoRoute and MapPoint 2010 via my MSDN subscription for comparison.

When I connected my separate GPS device to the laptop it worked perfectly in MapPoint but under AutoRoute it failed to get a fix.

Apart from that, under normal use I found not a lot of difference.
