AutoRoute is advertised on Microsoft website as having connection to GPS, voice directions etc and there is a picture of a PDA and a statement that it includes PocketMaps for PDA.
But I have not seen any independent reviews of the program.
I have a HP IPAQ 2010 with a HAICOM CF GPS. Can I use this in combination with AutoRoute as an in car navigation system?
I have bought ViaMichelin Mapsonic in 2004 and used it with this equipment and been reasonably satisfied. Bu when I should reinstall it on another computer and my PDA had suffered a hard reset, I faund that CD nr 4 had gone missing and the program was unable to reinstall. |

Autoroute has all the things as advertised. You can extract part of the map as Pocket Streets and export it to a PDA but it isn't the best bit of software for the job. _________________ Charlie Gregory

No voice instructions and no rerouting are the two that immediately spring to mind, unless these issues have changed in 2006. _________________ Tim |

I can't even get AR2006 to export the ruddy route to Pocket Streets so doubt if dynamic rerouting has been implemented... |
