Good news, but time will tell how good that coverage will actually be!

Yeah, that's awesome. Note that between MapPoint 2002 and MapPoint 2004 they
removed a lot of eastern European countries for which they only had highways
and major roads (probably licensed from AND Mapping). The countries ended up
with no road data. So I wouldn't be disappointed if they just added back
those countries with highways and major roads and no local roads. At least
it's an improvement.

The new countries do have what appears to be street-level coverage, not just
major roads and highways. So this should be improvement over the old
MapPoint 2002, which used map data by AND. But we shell wait for the
feedback from people who actually live there. Unfortunately, the newly added
countries don't appear on the dropdown of the Find feature :(
