    AutoRoute Software is Back for 2010

    You may have heard rumors that the Microsoft AutoRoute product was dead but apparently it was just hibernating.

    What is AutoRoute?  It is trip planning and navigation software much like Microsoft Streets & Trips but with European maps.  In fact, it contains maps for 43 countries! It will be available in 3 languages – EN-UK, French, and German.

    The last version of AutoRoute was released in 2007 so there are 3 years of new features available in 2010.
