Software Reviews of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 [OLD VERSION]Customer Review: Disappointed Summary: 2 StarsI am somewhat disappointed in this version. I have been buying this product every year since 2003 except for 2007 when I couldn't find a copy. I don't notice very much of a difference between this versions information and the 2006, I don't see that many new roads in areas that I know have new roads (since 2006). This version has more security features, read that as only being able to load it on 2 computers, takes a LOT longer to load. Takes a long time to come up when you want to use the program. I prefer using the 2006 that I have on the companies laptop.
Customer Review: Activation is a problem Summary: 1 StarsI have several older versions of Streets ending in 2006, and the new activation scheme is a real killer for me. It is far easier to use Google (for free) and a Garmin (with custom poi addins). Save your money.
Customer Review: I don't think so !! Summary: 1 StarsI came to this site specifically to purchase MS Streets and Trips 2008. After learning that I can only use it on one computer, I have changed my mind. Like many working/traveling people, I create my routes, maps etc on a desk top at home and use them on a laptop on the road. The one computer restriction is very inconvenient for me and a deal breaker.
I am off to research "Plan B"
Thank you, everyone, for writing the very informative reviews. You have saved me a little money and a lot of hassle.
Customer Review: Activation kills the product in the middle of a trip!!! Unacceptable. Summary: 1 StarsAlthough the connected services create a cluttered map and are not completely thought out yet I was enjoying this product until it deactivated itself in the middle of a road trip. Yes, it wanted reactivation or it would not work. I had no internet connection in my vehicle and I was not carrying my product key with me. Result a worse than useless product. The idea of activation of a product that only functions with microsoft provided hardware is ridiculous. I am angry and will not buy again.
Customer Review: error message Summary: 5 StarsI was able to solve the Error message in Streets & Trips 2008 when you try to use Streets and Trips or MapPoint: "Your registry settings for this application were not copied correctly" I went to the application in C:\program files\microsoft streets and trips & trips\streets.exe. right click properties, click on compatibility and check run as administrator The program now works for me in Vista Premium.
