Used to use Autoroute being driven by an OG garmin gps 12 for navigation and I think there was an option to display live traffic density, that I used via a startac holding a 14.4 connection to AOL (why AOL? because they had an 800 number POP that didn't cost an arm and a leg over cell), all running on a NEC P133 laptop.<p>Microsoft "Streets and Trips" had better maps though, but didn't support GPS tracking, as I remember it. By the end of the 90s MS had a handful of different mapping products, that all competed with each other in some weird way, some were under the Encarta branding, some under the Expedia branding, some just Microsoft and some Autoroute.<p>This was a year or two after the 'original' release in the title though (Autoroute was a separate company for the first half of the 90s until MS bought them and rebadged their product).
