"Great value...works well."
We just finished a two-week visit to Europe that included over 3300 km of driving in a rental car. I don't think we would have gotten out of Amsterdam without AutoRoute Europe. All told, we traveled from Amsterdam to Dusseldorf, Cologne, Strasbourg, Geneva, Burgundy, Saarlouis, Luxembourg, Trier, (then back to Dusseldorf and the Rhine valley to Rudesheim am Rhine, and back to Amsterdam to fly out).

The maps were 100% correct and provided plenty of detail to work. Connection to, and operation of my GlobalSat USB GPS pod was easy and flawless.

The software was easy to learn. (I didn't break the shrinkwrap until the night we arrived, and was able to navigate the next morning). No problems working with XP Pro on my Dell X1 laptop.

There were hotels and sights that I wouldn't have been able to find without it. In addition, it was indispensible in the narrow and convoluted roads of some of the old city centrums. Highly recommended.

"Did its job"
With GPS it got me around some fairly remote areas in France (Midi- Pyrenees). Haven't used it elsewhere. Glad I bought it.

"Great program but missing critical information"
Like the marvelous Streets and Trips program for the United States, this program has seeds of greatness. However, it is diminished by a failure to clearly and adequately disclose data gaps. When in Ireland I learned for the first time that the program does not have Republic of Ireland address search/location capability. This is a serious deficiency that forced rental of a vehicle GPS. Such gaps should be clearly disclosed prior to purchase. It was great in England and otherwise it is a useful program and easy to use.

"Buggy; hard to navigate"
You can't hide all places - that is a minor annoyance. The real problem is that it creates driving directions that are impossible to follow. "Local road, name changes to local road for 184 yards," for example.

"Could be better"
Hi,
I bought this software because I am taking a trip to England soon.

The software is ok, but it could be better, I am not a fan of the zoom. You have to go up to a zoom bar to adjust. I also own Delorme Street Atlas and I fing that software much easier to use from a functionality standpoint. To Zoom in the Delorme you drag a box, or stairstep out. (I know that isn't clear, but once you do it it's easy)

However the price on the Autoroute is what sold me. I will be using it for about one week, and will probably never use it again. The fact it sets up with a GPS is very cool, I am a fan of using a laptop as a GPS device, I will never get a pocket size one.
