Even now a year later microsoft still refuses to acknowledge us. There is no other decent software for Australia, we are stuck with requiring to be online, buy hard maps or gps units... No software for pc. :( yeah, there isn’t anything for Australia. Even now a year later microsoft still refuses to acknowledge us.

For my travels in the USA., I use the Microsoft Streets and Trips software that is useful for planning their journeys. But this software only covers USA +Canada +Mexico. I am considering a trip to Australia and I would like to buy the same type of software but it will cover Australia. Maybe Is there a specific microsoft Streets and Trips for Australia? Thanks for your help ! Hello !

It seems like they could sell upgrade data at a reasonable price for other regions of the world. The answer from Microsoft was that we don't do it that way, but you can buy another program in the UK or Europe at the full price. Instead I got a used copy on Ebay for a small fraction of the euro cost. Comment to A. Nonny Mouse: Suggest to the powers that be there that they might make more money by being more customer friendly. I might have been interested in South American data earlier this year.

Here are the coverage areas: http://www.tomtom.com/products/content.php?ID=216&Section=1298&Language=4 Looks like they support PocketPC only. Handango has some individual maps for sale that are not available on the TomTom site.

Most Map applications currently cover NA, Europe etc. So I would recommend that you get yourself a local guide/friend if you are going to roam around in Asia or Africa.
