Autoroute 2010 (1 Viewer)

Has anyone got the "quick search" to work?

(e.g. just type in a location or thing in the search box and click search - rather than the full "find" dialogue?)

Mine doesn't - even with the Trial download from MS...... It just briefly pops up the search window and then it vanishes straight away.

Tried on both Windows 7 (multiple machines) and an XP (virtual) with same effect.

Also can't get the maps from AR2010 to work on AR2007 - it just freezes


edit: CTRL-F full search dialog, "place / data" tab works fine and has the same functionality - its just the search box om the main page that doesn't.

Just tried the search function and it works ok for me.

Hi.

I'm having the same problem, when I type in a UK town or postcode a full box appears and you are taken to the location in the map view, if I enter a european place name the detail box just flashes on the screen and nothing happens in the map view.

Mike.

Well ***** me

Due to you saying it worked, I tried again and put in my full post code and it found it!
Then I typed in "rome" and it also worked. And now everything works! It didn't!!! UK and abroad

I've got it on another laptop at home I can try next week (snowboarding lessons at MK at mo)

Maybe a full UK postcode kicks it into action.

Hmmm.....

Ah well - at least it works

We use AR with a GPS, it's the business for route planning and enroute that red circle showing you where you are is very comforting

I normally plot the route from AR into my TomTom, Then sian follows our progress using AR and its big picture. Will definitely buy this new version

I do the same I agree its good to see the bigger picture and also to see where you are is good

Does anybody know if AR 2010 will do this automatically i.e will it link into Tom Tom and download POI's ?

It does for routes, you have to save them then import them into the sat nav, It may do the same for POI's

Whem Jim says he plots AR to his TT, is that directly as a file transfer or manually ? I use Co Pilot and AR is a much better route planner.

Im trying to work out how to do this for AR and TT Europe .I can see a button that says 'Configure GPS'but pressing this just prompts the AR to say 'GPS not detected'.
I can see that AR can export . GPX files so i guess I need to convert this to OV2 Tom Tom format, more investigations required ....grrrrrrrrr

Opening/importing MapPoint files in Autoroute

I tried to import/open pushpins from MapPoint 2009 (.ptm files) in AutoRoute 2010, so far without success. If you know how to do, please tell me. Thanks.

AR is good and I often use it, but I do wish they would extend it to include more countries to the east.

Ukraine should by now be fully mapped and on AR. Also would like to see Belarus included though I think MS would undoubtedly meet with certain 'issues' there which even Gates may find challenging.

Going south, Bosnia, Serbia and Albania should also be on.
