Autoroute /Office integration

[Steve Sweet]

Hi Peop's

Forgive me if this has been asked elsewhere in another time or place but...

Is there ever a chance of Autoroute being integrated with Office, such that
i could include references in say Outlook contacts and look them up via
Autoroute, maybe even allowing me to paste a map into a document.

I don't necessarily mean that Autoroute be included in the Office package
just that if its available it can be hooked in for reference by the other
elements of Office?.

It's there already. Open the contact and press Actions-> Display Map of
Address
For even better support you can use MapPoint which integrates with Outlook
(and other Office applications) as well.

Robert, but doing that takes you into MSN Maps & Directions - it doesn't use
Autoroute??

Hi Roady,

Thanks for getting back so quick

But that takes me to the web to find this info, which seems a bit silly if i
have a map system installed already. I wasnt aware of MapPoint integration,
isnt this a US product though, i'm in the UK

Ah, I thought it was more about the the integration of having maps in
Outlook available than the actual program being used for it. If he wants
Autoroute integration with Outlook it is a feature request for Autoroute of
cource and not Outlook ;-)
