Chris Pendleton, Virtual Earth Technical Evangelist Microsoft, revealed that an update to the desktop products MapPoint 2009 (Desktop Business Intelligence Mapping and Analysis Tool) and Streets & Trips 2009 (Desktop Consumer Trip Planning) will be made available in the coming months.
Contrary to the release of MapPoint 2006, there are quite a few more features and a whole new interface. MapPoint 2009 will be available September 1, 2008 is an update for the product’s 2008 version. Streets & Trips will be available in early October at your favorite retailer. For those who don’t know, Streets & Trips has a subset of MapPoint functionality, but if you just want offline trip planning software S&T is the way to go. And, for the Aussies, no, there is still no Australian version - just North America and Europe.
