Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - ugh.
The information support on Microsoft's webstie is severely lacking. Updating the software does not seem to be possible...even when brand-new. And since we had a new tollway extension in '07, it would have been nice to have that ON the '08 S&T--or at least updatable.

I've only tried the GPS once (when in Ft. Lauderdale), and it didn't work. Would try it again, but I got a Navagon for Fathers' Day...so I don't need it.

I like the concept of trip optimization. However, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Streets & Trips 2008
Even though it is 2008, there are roads built in 2005-2006 not in the directions. Makes for a HUGE problem.

Other than that, it works as advertised.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Its amazing
This product is great. I hardly ever lose and signal when using this product. It must be used outside so its perfect when driving in a car, Have it navigate your directions for you. It even has a trip planner. Best thing about it no monthly fees!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Almost a winner
It's called Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008, but the maps are probably five years old. It's mostly accurate. I would say the positioning is entirely accurate, but since several of the roads we travel have been rebuilt or built since the maps were last updated, it sometimes shows us driving through a field, where the new road or modified road has been built. It's a minor annoyance, and I haven't run into an issue that I oouldn't figure out a way around, even using the outdated maps. The routing sometimes ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Very good, but some features need more work
Microsoft sells three products that all have some level of commonality: Streets & Trips (S&T), MapPoint, and AutoRoute Europe. All three products work similarly but create incompatible files - and should never be the case with MS products. I save maps of customer locations around the country, as well as marked-up maps of enjoyable back roads for car club drives. I've switched to S&T a few years ago since I don't require all the programmability features in MapPoint. Now I have a sizable library ... Read More
