Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Aug 29, 2007 Type: User Review It does work, but it's as annoying any Microsoft product

It is pretty amazing that you can turn your PC into a competent GPS. You can also cut and paste addresses into it.

It does not work as well as the Garmin dashboard units. If I want to find the nearest Peet's Coffee; S&T can't do it....

As far as the features are concerned, this version is not much different from the previous one. I assume the GPS and data are latest. I have the previous version of the software and disappointed to see that the new one is not much different; in...

Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 is a great upgrade. They took all the best of MSS&T 2005 and Delorme Street Atlas USA and combined it into one. The GPS works great and the day/night settings and voice module is a helpful.

This is my 3rd version and it hasn't changed much. It likes to corrupt the data files after awhile so saved locations will show other addresses - an old bug that they don't seem to ever fix. They ignore emails with corrections (typical...

Microsoft Streets & Trips is one of those programs that leaves you wondering: How could such a mature product from such a huge company still have so many holes in it? Most of the right pieces are here, but its implementation falls short. The most...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Aug 30, 2007 Type: User Review Still great, but BORING

New maps but not much else new since 2007. They added an unpolished 3D view and MSN Traffic. Traffic is a paid subscription addon that requires an antenna purchase.

Still the best trip planner out there.

I didn't think much of the 2007 version of Streets & Trips (see review). It had a lot of mapping errors and a disappointingly low number of POIs.

Well, the 2008 version is basically more of the same. OK, some errors are now fixed,...
