Customer Reviews
Streets and Trips w/GPS Locator
This is a great product. We have used it with a laptop on at least 10 trips and it has very good features - voice instruction; lets you see where on the map you are driving; gives restaurants and attractions. I would recommend this for anyone who wants something better than a hand-held gps or someone who doesn't have a nav system built in to their vehicle. I bought my edition on Amazon and paid under $90.00 for it.

Has it's plusses
This has served me well in terms of giving me directions, but it lacks the accuracy required for netstumbling, and Google Earth mapping of data points.
There is a new version out that uses SIRFstar III, and it's supposedly more accurate. Also the 2008 version is supposed to know about traffic in an area.
I'd buy the new version if I ever lost my current unit for any reason.

very nice program ...
Purchased this program for my older laptop PC because it was compatible with Win2000. Program worked right out of the box, no troubles installing. Has very nice features, easy to read on the screen. Now if I just could afford to drive my car anywhere ... :)

It works
It works, it is a tad akward to use and would be much more conveniant if you could upgrade it rather than just buy a new one every few years

got me from California to Florida straight out of the box
Bought this to help me on a 1700 mile cross country drive while moving house. Did just what was required, and made for stress free navigation. Only slight criticism, it would be nice to be able to change the brightness of output. I found during night driving that I had to switch on the screen save to keep my night vision.
I bought the 2006 version as it was a lot cheaper than the 2008 version. I realized up from that the maps might be out of date, but this was no issue for me during the trip.
