While you're driving, verbal turn-by-turn directions let you concentrate on the road while the software guides you. Customizable trip planning features allow you to plan multiple stops, find nearby places to visit, calculate drive time, and more. Taking advantage of the enhanced trip planning software is easy. To create a route and generate directions, you simply type in the starting and ending locations and click on "Get Directions." It's that simple. Your trips can include multiple segments, and you can instruct the software to customize your route by telling it what types of roads you want to travel, how much gas your car has, and the general area where you want to stop to gas up. Streets and Trips 2007 will do the rest, giving you your optimal itinerary, down to the precise gas station. Overall you'll have access to over 1.2 million local POIs such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations and ATMs, and by planning ahead, Streets and Trips 2007 will help you avoid delays with construction updates and other recent changes to your route.
To find a certain POI, such as a restaurant or gas station, you simply select from 35 POI types to display on the map. You have the option of searching within a certain radius of an address that you choose, your current location, a specific direction within a planned route, or all of the POIs along the entire route. Your results are displayed in a directory-tree listing. When you click on a POI, a balloon box pops up on the map with detailed information, including an address and phone number, and if you right-click on the POI icon, you can add it to your route list. Personalize your maps with drawings, notes, and pushpins to mark important information. You can also import your contacts directly from Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Office Excel. Support You Can Count on And best of all, once you register your software, you can access a full year of email and toll-free customer support, and you'll also have access to an online knowledge base dedicated to Streets and Trips 2007.

 Rating:  - Best Map App - much better than DeLormeStay Away from DeLorme - for an Interstate Highway here in NC - I 40 & I 85 DeLorme has no exit numbers at all !!! Not on their map or directions - their tech support offered no apologies either, just said that their US map info provider had no information in this area for Highway exit numbers, that means no mileage marker info is available with DeLorme at all !!! Rating: - Good ProductThe only improvement I would like to see is more local landmarks on the maps and altitudes appearing on the maps too. Rating: - Best Software Money Spent Each YearFor the price of MS Streets and Trips and the number of times I use this product per year, this is the one of the best software values I know. Great for planning trips, driving times and optimizing routes even for around town driving. The valuable uses of this product are too numerable to mention -- finding restaurants, finding Starbucks, figuring driving times to a destination plus side trips, the list goes on. If you are keen on optimizing your driving time and/or maximizing your travel adventure ... Read More Rating:  - MS Streets and Trips 2007This map and trip maker is about the same as their previous versions except to my dislike, it no longer supports Windows 98, which happens to be the newest OP that my old lap top can use. It also still lists some restaurants that have been closed for two years. The street maps it produces are accurate, except for a few minor glitches. Rating: - Pretty goodThe program is great. Sometimes the GPS is slightly off though. I'll be travelling on a major highway and all of the sudden it will tell me that I'm off route for no reason. Not really a big deal, just annoying. Other than that I recommend it as a cheaper version of a GPS sysytem if you own a laptop. |
