After Microsoft spun off Expedia, later releases were rebranded as Microsoft Streets & Trips. In 2000, they were merged into a single product called Microsoft Expedia Streets & Trips 2000. During these early versions, core new features were added like updated maps, pushpins, weather, traffic and construction updates. These were produced as two distinct products under the Microsoft Home division and were later rebranded for a few releases as Expedia Streets, Expedia Streets Deluxe and Expedia Trip Planner. Automap Road Atlas was later rebranded in a future release as Automap Trip Planner. The initial products were 16-bit with Automap Streets Plus 5.0 (1997 version) being the first 32-bit version.

In Europe, the Autoroute brand was retained.

Microsoft combined the Encarta World Atlas Mapping Technology with new routing technology derived from Autoroute to create Automap Streets/Streets Plus and Automap Road Atlas products. In 1994, the product was sold to Microsoft. The company created a version for the United States called Automap Road Atlas which it sold through its American subsidiary Automap Inc. In the early 1990s, it was ported to the Microsoft Windows operating system. Originally released by NextBase Ltd in the 1988, a UK company, under the name 'Autoroute', it was sold for DOS based PCs and later for the Apple Macintosh, Atari ST and Psion PDA. AutoRoute was also produced in several European languages besides English. The European version is branded as Microsoft AutoRoute and covers all of Europe, including European Russia, as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Cyprus and all of Turkey. Its primary competitor was DeLorme, particularly its Street Atlas series of mapping software. It was originally developed by NextBase Ltd., which was acquired by Microsoft in 1994. Functionally, the last version is a subset of Microsoft MapPoint targeted at the average consumer to do a variety of map related tasks in the North American region including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, such as route planning. Microsoft Streets & Trips, known in other countries as Microsoft AutoRoute, is a discontinued mapping program developed and distributed by Microsoft.
