 Rating: - Map updates a disappointmentFor several local streets that have been changed or added for two or three years now, there is no difference in the map information between the 2008 and the 2005 version which I had. This was the main reason I upgraded. Big disappointment! Rating:  - MS Streets & TripsAmazing functionality. If your job requires travel with multiple stops, this software makes it really simple to get to and from your stops in the most fuel efficient route.

Rating: - Does what it's supposed to doThis program is easy to use - relatively intuitive about finding the controls to do the required task. The streets are up to date, even in a heavy construction area like San Diego. Works well with the GPS to give directions. This has saved me in really obscure situations, like finding the cemetery in Clyde, OH, and finding a specific hotel near Ft Leonard Wood in MO. I also use the bare program a lot to find specific addresses near home. I have 2 other GPS units and 2 other map programs - this is ... Read More |
