Where is MapPoint 2006 Europe?

"Scheduled for release in June"

Of what year pray tell?

We are losing customers because our product's mapping element is so out of date (MapPoint 2004), being 1st quarter 2003 maps. Although many roads are 3-12 years out of date.

Plus, Microsoft refuse to acknowledge the existence of web-based applications on a LAN (MapPoint .Net on the internet or nothing).

Unless you have a giant company that can afford the cost and time to become a Certified Partner, you cannot get any kind of discount for MapPoint runtime licenses.

Plus they still haven't fixed the "avoid area" bug (i.e. it doesn't work) so we cannot redirect routes around road segments and maps are not editable.
