 Campground POI's shown incorrectly April 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
RV Park and campground POI's are shown incorrectly to the SE (as much as 30 miles) from where they should be. Also many Canadian campgrounds are missing all together. The sites that I tested show up correctly on the older 2006 version.
 Not that good! April 5, 2008

When in the city, it will be a little to slow to provide anticipation for turns... Slow to redirect you to the correct address... sometimes it gets disconnected for no good reason... in the countryside it works well.
 Best mapping software available March 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Microsoft Streets and Trips and/or MapPoint are the best mapping software available in my book. Now with the Streets and Trips with the GPS antenna package, it doesn't get any better. You actually get a GPS, with full functions, for less than $100 when installed on your laptop. Great for the business traveler who has their laptop along with them anyways. Would recommend this to those who already have a mobile GPS for trip planning from your office as well.
On a final note, if you take it to the next level, you can import from a tab delimited file (Excel), and place push pins with information on your map from a client database.
Get 2007 Edition instead March 28, 2008

This is no better than the 2007 Version, just adds activation scheme. I like one on my desktop and laptop, you can't do that with this version.
Best GPS ever March 23, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been using Microsoft S&T since 2004 and I love it. We have all kinds of other GPS devices for hiking, sailing, fishing etc. None of them are as easy to use as Microsoft's and none show the entire US so clearly. I actually stopped using my Honda and Mercedes built-in GPS units because they took so long to enter information and zoom in and out. Also, having your laptop to navigate with is much better than fitcheting with little screens. And if you ever travel in Europe, Microsoft's AutoRoute is just as good and you can continue using the satellite receiver.
Finally, if you have a laptop, there is nothing cheaper and better on the market.
