I much prefer MapPoint (Autoroute on steroids), but so far only the US maps
are available on MSDN.

I can analyze data directly onto maps!

Very poor maps designed by a blind watchmaker. Enlarge a view of
MapPoint map... oh look the captions remain in tiny unreadable type. It
doesn't matter how much the view is enlarged, street names, motorway
junction numbers and road numbers will remain tiny and largely
unreadable. The base maps themselves are also poor quality, not a patch
on Ordnance Survey or Admiralty Charts. And what's this fetish that
Microsoft have about pubs and shopping centres?
