Microsoft has updated its U.S./Canada mapping software. This is a database of all the
roads in the
U.S. and most of Canada.
Version 2002 is, on first look, a fairly significant improvement to the database. In
Ottawa, for
example, the 2001 edition would not let you cross the Portage Bridge between Ottawa
and Hull; 2002
does. The Ottawa-Kennebunkport trip included Bear Trap Rd. just after the ferry to
Vermont. This
road is shown accurately now whereas it was not a through road on the previous CD-ROM.
I've been using programs like this one for several years to plan cycling routes and
I'd love to hear
from anyone else who has experience (bad or good) with other programs like this.
