I remember that more than one year ago this seemed to be impossible, but I
would like to check if somebody may have developped any new software.

When I return from a trip, I have to view my tracks on a mapsource map,
which is very sparse in detail and I consequently would like to view these
tracks on Microsoft Autoroute ...

Thanks most sincerely in advance for any hint

GPS Utility will open Autoroute Express files, no file type is listed in
GPSU for Autoroute Express files so I guess they do not use a specific
file type for the filenames?

GPS Utility will also open MicroSoft Streets & Trips *.est files.
More info here:

Going from AR to Mapsource is easy. I use GPSU for this.

However, the one time I went from Mapsource to AR, I had to resort to
using GPSU to export it as Excel file, manipulating the latitudes and
longuitudes into a format that AR would recognise and import. It was
such a faff that I have never bothered since.
