| - Microsoft Automap Road Atlas for Windows, version 4.0 |
SYMPTOMS
In Automap Road Atlas version 4.0, if a dollar amount containing cents is entered in the Route menu, Route Settings Fuel tab selection, the value entered is rounded to the whole dollar amount only.
For example, if 1,45$ is typed and you click, the fuel cost becomes 1,00$. This behavior also occurs in the Route Wizard.
The problem occurs when the Windows International settings are set to:
Country: Canada (French) Language: French Canadian
and the decimal separator is set as a comma.
