Yes, it can be done! You need to download the Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0. Log on as a guest using MSDEVICE as the ID (if you're a firefox user then you may need to switch to IE for this as we had problems). You'll also need activesync 3.7.x or higher so you can virtually connect the device like a real PDA, but there are instructions about all this anyway. Once installed you can change the screen size / orientation etc... Normal Enlarged Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The latest version of MS AutoRoute gives directions on a PC. Does not work on a PPC which is a surprise as I thought MS would have been keen to make inroads into this market, Quote Link to comment

The hardest bit seemed to be finding the link to download it! From there on after all instructions on setting it up were very clear, which is a good job as we're not very technically minded either!
