I had hoped the same with MS Streets & Trips before too, prayerfully something like that might work. It could probably be tested now with another world version of Mappoint (e.g. Europe?).

Now that Mappoint 2009 is out, has anyone tried it yet (has anyone even acquire it yet?)

I don't think it's out, yet. The ETA was the end of July, if I recall correctly. I keep checking my MSDN downloads once every few days, but the last time I checked there only were the 2002, 2004, and 2006 versions available.

You're right, I got June 21st confused with July 21st

July 21st has come on and gone, here's crossing my fingers...

Updated ETA is September 1, 2008.
