using Autoroute 2006 with Outlook 2003

[Obow]

Outlook has a nice feature whereby you can view an address of a contact on a
map. It opens up MSN maps and displays the location, but this requires an
internet connection. I have Autoroute 2006 and i would have thought it would
be possible to integrate this with Outlook 2003 so that when i ask it to
"show address on map", it opens up Autoroute and displays the address there
instead. Is it possible?
thanks

I think you need the MapPoint product for that.

Hi Brian,
let me get this right... you're telling me that even though i have to MS
products, they won't talk to each other. that sounds ludicrous, especially
considering that on my PDA (with windows mobile 5 i.e. an MS product), i can
go to my contacts and click show address on map and it will open up TomTom
(i.e. a third party) and show it with no problems!! well thats MS for ya!
Thanks anyway.
