Microsoft Autoroute, known in North America as Microsoft Streets & Trips, is a discontinued〔〔 mapping program developed and distributed by Microsoft. Functionally the latest version is a subset of Microsoft MapPoint targeted at the average consumer to do a variety of map related tasks in the North American region including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, such as route planning. Its primary competitor is DeLorme, particularly its ''Street Atlas'' series of mapping software. == Versions == The European version is marketed as Microsoft AutoRoute and covers all of Europe, including European Russia, as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Cyprus and all of Turkey. AutoRoute is also produced in several European languages besides English. Streets & Trips 2006 and later versions install the new text-to-speech voice, "Microsoft Anna", which is part of Windows Vista, onto Windows XP computers for the voice-prompt direction feature. Version 2006 of both Streets & Trips as well as AutoRoute is the last version for Windows 98 / Me and version 2007 is the last version for Windows 2000. Version 2008 (and older) included 336 pushpin symbols. The new version 2009 replaced these symbols with a new set of 46 pushpins. The Streets and Trips user community thus created a default map template〔( Template adds old-style pushpins to Streets & Trips 2009 / MapPoint 2009 )〕 wihich has the 2008 pin set in order to re-add them to the program. The former pushpins were restored in the 2010 version with updated visual styling. Streets & Trips 2009〔(Streets & Trips 2009 review )〕 adds pronunciation of street names, as part of the voice directions prompts. The map of Mexico now includes street level data of even small towns, but the address-find feature still has not been enabled for there. Version 2010 〔( Version 2010 Review )〕 adds hide/show pushpinsets, hide/show information balloons, import/export GPX files, export to GPS navigation device, export to mobile phone, and 348 new pushpin symbols were added, the majority restored former pins as mentioned above. Version 2011 〔http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/2380-review-microsoft-streets-trips〕 is mainly a database update adding 88,000 miles of new mapping to the program and the removal of support for the ending MSN Direct service and coupon data, while allowing direct map correction feedback to maps provider Navteq and the addition of cardinal direction guidance and alternate road names to direction data. This version came out in February rather than the traditional August/September release date. No reasons were given. Version 2013 has been released as of July 1, 2012. A version of the product was sold with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver to allow users to use the product as a satellite navigation system. Since version 2008,〔(Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008: Review )〕 Microsoft started requiring Product Activation for Streets & Trips.〔(Product activation FAQ and troubleshooting: MS KB927007 )〕 On July 7, 2014, Microsoft announced the discontinuation of Streets & Trips. Although Microsoft continues to provide mapping solutions as apps for its Windows operating system, Microsoft will provide online support for current users until July 14, 2015.〔( Streets & Trips Homepage )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Microsoft Streets & Trips」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
