I recently bought the 2005 version and was disappointed to see no roads at all in those countries. I had saved the maps from the 2002 version assuming 2005 would use them but since there are no roads the new version is useless.

Unless you will strictly remain in western Europe I suggest you buy the 2002 version. Although most probably out of date in places, at least there is coverage of eastern Europe.

I was going to upgrade to the latest version but found from a friend that the M6 toll road has not been reflected in the maps that accompany the software. Neither have the modifications to the M2 junction with the A229. Until MS upgrade their maps this product will be a waste of money because it will make you expend more money on being misrouted than you would save by planning your route properly. Reading the on-line reviews has confirmed that I have made the right decision. On-line route planners may not give as much info as Autoroute but at least their maps are up to date.

This product is the worst map and route planner ever put on the market masses of roads have been missed of in Ireland including major N roads

The Route planner sends you half way round the country I would suggest that you plan a Journey from Riverstown Co.Sligo to Dublin Airport you will no matter how hard you try send you some 50 miles out of your way and totaly miss out the N4 direct route - All the old versions had the full road maps on - so I would suggest that if you live in Ireland get an old version about 2000 version this was ok the new one is very bad.
