robi99's Full Review: Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005 Full Version for PC...
I just bought this package after months of contemplating buying an automotive GPS. I went with Streets and Trips because I don't drive often enough in strange places to justify the expense of a dedicated GPS. I own a laptop and for $80.00, I now have a system that does everything a GPS would do,and more, albeit a much larger footprint.
The software installed flawlessly and with just a few minutes of poking around, I was able to map trips and drive with the GPS. If you always have a car full of people, this may not be for you but with one or two people in the car, there is always room for a laptop. Reviews of the 2005 version stated that there were no voice prompts. If true, this would be a big drawback. The 2006 version has voice prompts in a very pleasant voice and I was amazed at how well it performs. Big fonts display your next turn. There are more features than I have yet to discover. It shows route, compass direction, Latitude and Longitude, altitude.
