Trip planner.
I use my Microsoft Streets and Trips software to plan my route, intermediate stops, and destination for any travel via automobile or truck. I am especially pleased with the ability to see and print a detailed guide for locating street addresses for those destinations with which I may be unfamiliar. This is especially helpful for delivery of items to a customer whose business may be on a relatively remote street in areas that are difficult to find.
I have tried a few other software systems...

Microsoft Streets and Trips[2007]
This is the second generation of this software I have owned. It is a great navagation tool, better than most online sites and can be used in the car.
I marvel at how up to date the roads shown are because in the Lexington, Kentucky area we have had a lot of new growth, with new streets and roads.
The software contains a lot of good eating and lodging places already placed on the map, so you don't have to do a separate search to find a place to eat or spend the night. Major points of i...

Best Software Money Spent Each Year
For 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 advent...

Pretty good
The 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.

Best Map App - much better than DeLorme
Stay 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 !!!

Good Product
The only improvement I would like to see is more local landmarks on the maps and altitudes appearing on the maps too.

MS Streets and Trips 2007
This 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.

Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007
Microsoft Streets and Trips is a program that we have used for a few years and are happy with it for the most part. Some locations we attempted to locate on our 2004 version did not track to the proper destination even though the sites were virtually local ones.
However, the overall trip plan and mileage functions are what we desire and we are very happy with this part of the software.

It just gets worse and worse.
I've bought upgrades for MS Streets & Trips faithfully. No longer. It is losing functionality instead of getting better. For example, in the 2004 release you could actually read the speed, altitude, information. In the 2007 version, you have to read print this size while trying to drive down the road. And the GPS panel takes up a huge part of the screen. 2004 was definitely superior. Now, why would a programmer do this? One would think they'd want to make it easier to use, not less.

Almost does what I need
I did not buy this for the navigation but rather to plot a couple hundred places of interest. It can import addresses just fine from Excel, but I also needed it to display name, address and phone number for each place by default. I haven't found how to do that, if it will do that at all. But, I select each location, choose the information to display then I have what I want.
