From: Amazon Posted: Sep 12, 2005 Type: User Review Horrible!

Doesn't tell you how to get anywhere when used with a GPS...simply shows you where you are. Nothing more than a glorified paper map. A complete embarassment!

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 18, 2005 Type: User Review Poor selection of maps

I purchased this program recently, and was very disappointed. The maps are very limited...for example, most of the major tourist areas (beaches, Newport, ect.) in Rhode Island are cut out of the RI map. I recommend buying MS Streets and Trips...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 29, 2005 Type: User Review Should be zero stars

This product is nothing like the desktop version of the software. So limited in functions, you might as well have a paper map.

From: Amazon Posted: May 25, 2005 Type: User Review An utter embarrassment.

This app is just horrendous. It is literally NOTHING more than a moving map; I'm serious. There are NO features at all. To make things worse, when zoomed out, the display is littered with the names of every little village and hamlet you've never...

From: Amazon Posted: May 03, 2005 Type: User Review May Be Better Off With FULL Version of Streets and Trips

Overall, an okay product. Many people complain their street isn't shown or recent construction isn't shown, but it takes about 3 years for new mapping data to make it all the way from satellite imagery, to purchasable data for companies like...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 05, 2005 Type: User Review Simply Awful!

This is simply awful! I would expect this type of performance from some no-name brand software purchased at a flea market - not from Microsoft! I think they must of contracted this off to some really low bidder. I had more satisfaction tossing...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 30, 2005 Type: User Review Useless or plain bad?

I had thought that Microsoft might have been the creme of the crop, but it seems that it's just that: a myth. This software feels very empty, counterintuitive, and hard to use. The "points of interest" lack plenty of places that I needed to find...

From: Pricegrabber Reviewed by: nugget2500 Posted: Mar 01, 2005 Type: User Review

Easy to read down to street number level. Lots of POIs. The interface is easy to use and the maps are very legible. Panning and zooming are easy using the PDA joystick or control buttons. Very useful if your area is included in the maps. In my...

PROS: Easy to use, good detail.
CONS: Missing sections of metro areas. Doesn't plan routes.

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 13, 2004 Type: User Review Not the PDA software you need.

There is no search or travel direction capability. You have to download every states and need to know what "county" the address you are looking for(like in CA, you have LA, west,east or what?). A rip off by Microsoft for $29 dollars.

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 13, 2004 Type: User Review Good, but....

The software doesn't offer voice navigation, which makes it impossible (or very dangerous) to use alone while driving. Also, not as intuitive as Mapopolis and Tom Tom, especially when using on a pocket pc.
