The trouble with AutoRoute is that it falls between too many stools. Though it is good at its core activity – route planning – there's very little incentive for most consumers to invest the money with so many free mapping services around. It's also pretty useless as a sat-nav system, lacking too many standard features as well being totally impractical to use.
If you own a UMPC, or small tablet PC and you carry one around with you all the time, AutoRoute may be worth the purchase simply because the maps and points-of-interest database are so comprehensive. But other than this I can think of no real reason to spend your hard-earned cash on AutoRoute 2007. At £70 for the version with the GPS receiver it's not even that much of a bargain. I'd recommend you save up a few more pennies and buy a proper sat-nav system instead.
