>Microsoft's Autoroute.
Not familiar with that one, but MS Streets & Trips, available from mid-aughts until about 2013, was a great product (I still have an installable licensed version that I use). For planning and documenting road trips, it is a great tool, and also can optimize stops to minimize distance, for example I used it once to plan the shortest route for making over 100 stops all within about 10 miles of my starting point. It also can generate turn by turn directions. More than once, before I had a smartphone and online maps, I would simply pull over to the curb in a new city I was visiting and zoom into the local map using my laptop.
Lack of updates has not been a huge problem, it was only last year for the first time that I encountered a major new freeway in Nevada that was not on my map.
I would gladly pay several hundred dollars for a similar product today, and even subscribe if necessary.
