Microsoft Autoroute 2007 with GPS Locator

It used to be king of the road-maps, but can Microsoft's GPS version of AutoRoute compete with online mapping and dedicated in-car sat-nav?

And all this is before I even get to the accuracy of the driving instructions themselves, which leave a lot to be desired. In one trip across central London AutoRoute 2007 asked me to perform illegal or impossible manoeuvres three times in the space of...

Microsoft - AutoRoute 2007 with GPS Locator

AutoRoute is an excellent tool for planning road trips of all kinds and can now give you street-level maps, as well as sets of directions, timings and costings. Its main use has always been to plan ...

This is a logical extension to AutoRoute's extensive set of route-planning functions, but logical doesn't equal practical. The program's still very good at providing detailed maps and includes an excellent roster of places of interest. The idea of...

Microsoft AutoRoute 2007

This is not just something to find you a route or show you a map. It's a very long way from the early Next Base product on a floppy disc, and it now comes on a DVD.

Microsoft Office 2007 (Standard Edition)

Anyone who has followed Microsoft Office through its succession of lacklustre upgrades in recent years would be excused for yawning at the prospect of the 2007 version. Well, wake up: The 2007 Office System is easily the most compelling Office upgrade...

Most compelling upgrade in recent Office history, Design innovations ;

Outlook not a comprehensive improvement ;

Overall, Outlook 2007 offers tangible improvements, but the program remains much the same as its predecessor. As e-mail, instant messaging, and other forms of communication become increasingly enmeshed, most users will need programs that can link...
