Pretty sure its just AutoRoute with Microsoft logos plastered over it in the usual way that MS sees a product it hasn't got its fingers into, so buys out the competition rather than develop their own version.

That said, the copy I have here (although 4-5 years out of date) does the trick.

You may need to be a bit more specific in your quest for enlightenment, as its a pretty simple concept: i.e. pick some places and devise a route between them...

MapPoint isn't just Autoroute, it's meant to be a full Geographical Stats program and can integrate with Excel etc to display area stats and the like.

Exactly, I've spent the day playing with it and things are starting to come together.
