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 UMPC 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!
