Software Reviews of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator [DVD] [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: No AI built in
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, this is a good prduct and works though I had to use the cable to get the GPS to work, just plugging into the USB did not work inside 2 different cars. The problem I have with this program is that they have not done what is totally obvious in my mind: User puts in home address and when searching by just street name, the street name in the town that person is in is first, then that streets within that state, etc. As it is now, you put a street name in and you get that street in Arizona even though I have never made a search in Arizona. I use the program to invest in real estate so I put in a lot of destinations in a confined geographical area. When the program doesn't "learn" that I am aways searching the Toledo, Ohio area and use that as a proximity sort on searches and the program does not give the option of having a "home" to use as a reference, the function of the product is unnecessarily frustrating. Customer Review: Works much better than 2008 & 2006
Summary: 4 Stars
Previously used 2006 as navigation in my work van and when the gps receiver broke, I decided to upgrade to 2008 Streets & Trips despite the poor reviews here. The 2008 did not work properly and needed to be restarted continually, so I replaced it with 2007, which works great. No problems or complaints since.Customer Review: Streets and Trip-Ups
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought MS Streets/Trips (with GPS) 2007 expecting it to be a serious product with some degree of reliability. Not! The Pharos 500 GPS receiver will not stay connected to the satellite signal for more that a few minutes, and once it loses it, you have to start over by shutting down the program and re-launching the ap. It's a mess. I've used this in totally wide open areas of Dallas, TX, and there is rarely a time when the satellite signal is found, much less kept connected. Perhaps the most ironic thing about it is the GPS receiver works best when sitting on my 2nd floor window sill, exactly where it's never going to be used! Once it gets into my car, it loses the signal. Buy a different GPS system if you expect to own one that works.Customer Review: Great PC map program
Summary: 5 Stars
I have since upgraded to the 2008 version. This was good enough that upgrading was a no brainer.Customer Review: 2007 an Improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a long-time user of Streets and 2007 has some subtle improvements, including a full-screen view when using the GPS. The full-screen view has a large button to re-route if you miss a turn (not like anyone tries to use the laptop while driving) and an estimated arrive time. I purchased 2007 since it sounds like the 2008 product activiation can be a nightmare.
