 Great improvement from 2006 September 24, 2007
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Great improvement from the 2006 version with the auto-recalculate and seems to be more accurate. The display has more helpful features such as time, compass, and etc. I can't wait for the day when Streets & Tips directs you through maps that look like Virtual Earth by Microsoft.
 map is not up to date September 24, 2007

I have considered Streets and Trips a fine program, and purchased successive annual versions. This years version however, is very disappointing in that it appears not to have improvements that would justify a full purchase price. If very minor upgrade changes are all that are to be expected in the future, an annual downloadable upgrade should be offerred at a reduced price. My 2 1/2 years old home is on local maps but still not identifiable in the latest version (2008). All I've really noticed are minor "splash" screen changes.

Not many new features in this version, but Streets & Trips product line is good August 30, 2007

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 that respect this version is a shame for Microsoft. If the OS is Vista, it makes sense to use the latest software.
I used other mapping systems. I like Streets & Trips because of it's simplicity and ease of use. This product is great to get a clear understanding of a place and adding information to the map. For example, adding the details like rent and distance of apartments in a neighborhood and analyzing which one is best.
Using this product as a laptop based navigation system (as a replacement of Vehicle GPS Navigator) is ineffective, unsafe and waste of time and money.
It does work, but it's as annoying any Microsoft product August 28, 2007

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. It can show me dozens of "restaurants - other" in my area (oddly excluding what I'm looking for). If I search for Peet's it finds only 6 of the many dozens of Peets stores.
It has a category for grocery stores and for shopping centers, but not for hardware or office supply stores.
I had S&T 2006 and the GPS broke. I bought the 2008 thinking they'd have improved it. I can't see any improvement; it looks exactly the same and has the same odd little deficiencies.
My father-in-law has a great little Garmin unit. I was a fool and tried to save money getting S&T.
