Software Reviews of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 with GPS [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Campground POI's shown incorrectly
Summary: 1 Stars
RV Park and campground POI's are shown incorrectly to the SE (as much as 30 miles) from where they should be. Also many Canadian campgrounds are missing all together. The sites that I tested show up correctly on the older 2006 version.Customer Review: Not that good!
Summary: 2 Stars
When in the city, it will be a little to slow to provide anticipation for turns... Slow to redirect you to the correct address... sometimes it gets disconnected for no good reason... in the countryside it works well.Customer Review: Best mapping software available
Summary: 5 Stars
Microsoft Streets and Trips and/or MapPoint are the best mapping software available in my book. Now with the Streets and Trips with the GPS antenna package, it doesn't get any better. You actually get a GPS, with full functions, for less than $100 when installed on your laptop. Great for the business traveler who has their laptop along with them anyways. Would recommend this to those who already have a mobile GPS for trip planning from your office as well.
On a final note, if you take it to the next level, you can import from a tab delimited file (Excel), and place push pins with information on your map from a client database.
Customer Review: Get 2007 Edition instead
Summary: 2 Stars
This is no better than the 2007 Version, just adds activation scheme. I like one on my desktop and laptop, you can't do that with this version.Customer Review: Best GPS ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Microsoft S&T since 2004 and I love it. We have all kinds of other GPS devices for hiking, sailing, fishing etc. None of them are as easy to use as Microsoft's and none show the entire US so clearly. I actually stopped using my Honda and Mercedes built-in GPS units because they took so long to enter information and zoom in and out. Also, having your laptop to navigate with is much better than fitcheting with little screens. And if you ever travel in Europe, Microsoft's AutoRoute is just as good and you can continue using the satellite receiver.
Finally, if you have a laptop, there is nothing cheaper and better on the market.
