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.

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Aug 29, 2007 Type: User Review Still pretty lame, and now it has #%$^%& activation

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,...

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.

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.
