Automap: Gas Calculations are Incorrect (137129)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Automap Road Atlas for Windows 3.0
  • Microsoft Automap Road Atlas for Windows 3.02
This article was previously published under Q137129

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Automap Road Atlas miscalculates the fuel consumption for a journey.

For example, if the fuel cost for all road types is set to $1.00 per gallon and miles per gallon (MPG) is set to 1, the cost calculation should yield $1.00 per mile. In this case, Road Atlas consistently over- estimates the cost by approximately 0.5 percent.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Automap versions 3.0 and 3.02. This problem was corrected in Automap version 3.03.
