The road may be long and winding, but your navigational abilities will be smooth and confident thanks to the powerful travel and map software in Streets & Trips. This flexible, user-friendly program provides convenient navigation assistance while you're on the road, making it ideal for use in planning a family vacation, coordinating a sales trip, mapping out RV travels and more. From sightseeing to fuel stops, Streets & Trips makes it easy to plot out a route that takes you to every point in your itinerary so you can focus on enjoying your destination rather than worrying about how to get there. Streets & Trips provides you with access to 1.5 million points of interest with no Internet connection required, so you can find your way to useful stops quickly and easily. Optimized travel routes help you save time and gas money over the course of your journey, and spoken directions and street names help you navigate without need to take your eyes off the road. You can even send location information to a mobile device for easy access when you're away from your computer. The included GPS locator plugs directly into the USB port on your laptop to help you find your way quickly and easily. Plus, along with the software and GPS locator, you'll receive a free download of Microsoft Money Plus to aid you in budgeting for your trip as well as a free 14-day Entertainment online trial membership that gives you access to savings on restaurants, hotels and special events.

I liked the old version (2008) better.

"I use Microsoft Streets & Trips since 2006, and I really like it. Also, I am used to it. I think the 2008 was the best version so far. I just bought 2009, but still like 2008 better. I don't like some of the new changes they made to the program. On of those is luck of many pushpins that were there before. Also I like the old sensor better. The only reason I bought new version is because it has upgrated new addre..." Read Full Review »

Streets and Trips?

"If this is an improvement over previous versions, than the previous versions must have not worked at all. This software is awful! The voice prompt does not work unless you press the space bar, and the voice is terribly robotic, and cannot pronounce abbreviations. For instance, "turn left on SR52" comes out as "turn left on Senior 52!" Or "take ramp on right to U.S. 104" becomes "take ramp on right to us 104." Th..." Read Full Review »

★★★☆☆

"Only a couple of complaints. First, the documentation and help for this are horribly inadequate, causing a serious learning curve in order to figure out all the features. Be prepared for a lot of trial and error before you can quickly and easily navigate with this thing. You're on your own.

"When using MS Streets with the GPS Doggle it allows 2D Map view rather than the 3D tunnel view that the Garmin/TomTom family of windshield GPS units offer. Have already found streets (that have been built for years) missing and 1 incorrect in a small area. There mapping company needs help. A co-work …"  Read Full Review »

"I've used Streets & Trips for several years now and have been pretty satisfied with the software itself. I decided to update to 2009 and get the GPS receiver with it this time.
