    Hi all,

    Just wondering did anyone get the new edition of AutoRoute 2004? Are all Irish roads included in it this time, as they weren't in the 2003 edition? (Noticable ommissions were all R routes, the N3 and N4 past Kinnegad etc.)

    If they are not, I'll stick with my 2001 edition, warts 'n all.

    After the amazing lack of Irish routes available on the 2003 edition (plotting a route from Dublin to Galway ran through Limerick (or Dublin-Limerick through Galway, can't remember) I'm inclined to think that they can stuff it. Having said that I'm still on 2002 because of this and a workable upgrade would be handy.

    Worryingly though, this ocmes from the feature list:
    Updated Maps of Over a Dozen Western European Countries. More than 2.5 million miles (4 million kilometres) of routable motorways, roads and streets in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland plus the cities of Belfast, Helsinki, Oslo, and Prague.
    Note lack of mention of Ireland except for Belfast.

    The AA is fine, very accurate, but I like to zoom in and out of my maps :)
