Software Reviews of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator [DVD] [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Works most of the time
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently hauled my laptop to Hawaii solely for GPS. I also bought car inverter for long trips. I was really disappointed by the results. The GPS took long times to lock to satelite (as much as 10 mins sometimes). On highways its sensitivity was really low. The driving directios for lot of points was screwed up. Don't drive to Hanauma Bay using MS S&T.
The biggest problem I faced was that the driving directions will not specify which direction to take on HWY (I mean w,s,n or e). It will just say take H1 and I had to guess H1 E or H1 W. Try HNL to Hanauma Bay Natural preserve Honolulu.
Further more this GPS solution is very cumbersome (especially since the included suction cup) doesn't stick very long, thus the gps receiver keeps falling off.
The reason I bought this unit was to postphone buying a real GPS for a year or two. In retrospect it was a bad decision....
Customer Review: Still some problems with program
Summary: 4 Stars
Have tried Delorme and others, and the MS Streets and Trips 2007 is still the best. Biggest problem I have find is in the "finding near by" mode, when searching landmarks, every car dealership, plus some other businesss, in the search area are listed. These should be move into another catagory.
Customer Review: Great GPS locator
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this just before a road trip. It is great to use in the car with another person checking the map. The GPS locator is very accurate. It took a few seconds to get the signal and then it will not lose it.Customer Review: Microsoft Streets & Trips
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found this product to be very useful in locating the homes of clients that I'm calling on. It's been especially helpful since I'm in a new area I'm not familiar with. The GPS device has accurately given my position in relation to addresses I'm searching for in rural areas even when they are on dirt roads and well off the main highways and streets.Customer Review: Could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
The program does exactly what a mapping program is supposed to do, and even updates if you're online to show construction areas. The GPS, on the other hand, isn't very intuitive. It tells if you are on- or off-route, gives ample warning of upcoming turns it knows about, but when you're off-route, it won't automatically recalculate, you have to tell it to. Not very helpful when you're in a strange area, in traffic, and you miss a turn. It's also kind of painful to navigate with a laptop in the passenger seat so you have to take your eyes completely away from the road to see what's next. Not bad, works as advertised (barely), but could be better.
