Customer Reviews:

streets and trips stinks [Posted on 2007-12-04]
This program stinks. you need to enter a new starting point every time you use it even though most people start from the same point usualy. The user friendly aspect is poor, the maps are only so so. I found much older products to be much easier and smarter. I bet whoever designed this product doesn't actualy use it!

Had to return it [Posted on 2007-12-07]
The GPS unit stopped working the first time we tried it so we had to return it for a refund.

2007 an Improvement [Posted on 2007-12-18]
I'm a long-time user of Streets and 2007 has some subtle improvements, including a full-screen view when using the GPS. The full-screen view has a large button to re-route if you miss a turn (not like anyone tries to use the laptop while driving) and an estimated arrive time. I purchased 2007 since it sounds like the 2008 product activiation can be a nightmare.

Great PC map program [Posted on 2008-01-06]
I have since upgraded to the 2008 version. This was good enough that upgrading was a no brainer.

Streets and Trip-Ups [Posted on 2008-02-02]
Bought MS Streets/Trips (with GPS) 2007 expecting it to be a serious product with some degree of reliability. Not! The Pharos 500 GPS receiver will not stay connected to the satellite signal for more that a few minutes, and once it loses it, you have to start over by shutting down the program and re-launching the ap. It's a mess. I've used this in totally wide open areas of Dallas, TX, and there is rarely a time when the satellite signal is found, much less kept connected. Perhaps the most ironic thing about it is the GPS receiver works best when sitting on my 2nd floor window sill, exactly where it's never going to be used! Once it gets into my car, it loses the signal. Buy a different GPS system if you expect to own one that works.
