Software Reviews of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: This is great!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've used Microsoft Street and Trips for maybe six years now, and I've always upgraded it when it's available.

You can type in the address of anyplace you're looking for, and zoom in at any resolution to see the location of your destination.

I keep folders of each city I travel to with all the customers' locations noted. There is also a place to note phone numbers and contacts.

I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to see just where some place is, especially if you want to see a destination in relation to other destinations.

But even if you're only looking for one place, it's good.

Customer Review: nothing new
Summary: 2 Stars

Seems there is nothing new on this version. Many major new streets and highways that have been open well over a year are not on their maps. I wanted it to upgrade from V2003 but it was a was a waste of money!

Customer Review: Not worth the hassle of an upgrade
Summary: 1 Stars

I use S & T 2005, and it works just fine, even with the slight interface issues. Every time I come to purchase the latest version, I am reminded that the copyright protection is annoying and dependant on online registration. I won't be spending my money on such a product which requires online registration. I am getting ready to replace my road warrior laptop, and I value my time too much to spend it trying to contact a MS representative to convince the phone drone that I legitimately purchased the software, and need to get my license enabled for installation onto another machine because I have purchased a newer laptop.

Combine that with the numerous comments that there is no improvement over content of UI design, then the reason to purchase is a no brainer.

I almost forgot, there are many reviewed comments that the products installation is unstable on many laptops. This last fact pretty much renders this latest and greatest version worthless IMHO.

Customer Review: Streets and trips review
Summary: 3 Stars

This product takes up way too much room on my hard drive. I am thinking of uninstalling it and sending it back and rely on the old mapquest. This does make it handy however for routing a tour since I am a real estate agent, but not worth buying a new computer over.

Customer Review: good, but not perfect
Summary: 3 Stars

I purchased this edition to upgrade from the 2006 edition. As is typical, "up-to-date" means the data is about two years old. My subdivision, created in the summer of 2006, is not indicated in any way. Several new portions of interstate 40 near Greensboro were opened last year - under construction for four years - and are not included, while a segment of I-73 that has not even been started is shown as complete.
I don't use GPS, so I can't comment on it. The thre D maps are interesting and can be useful.
