I don’t follow news on this software at all so I could be rally late with this.
On the Mappoint B2B MSDN blog there’s news about Streets and Maps (known as Autoroute in Europe) 2007. Importantly, they’ve been thinking about UMPC’s:
Lastly, we made the first significant investments in tailoring the application for ultra-mobile PCs, so that as that platform begins to emerge in CY07 we have a winning offering to attach to ultra mobile PC sales.
This is good news as currently, there doesn’t seem to be much Windows XP based navigation software that can be used without a keyboard.
It’s available for pre-order at Amazon for $36. Is that right? It seems incredibly cheap for route planning software. Anyone using SandT 2006?
As usual, the product hasn’t been announced for Europe!
