1.0 out of 5 stars Here we go again, August 24, 2003

This review is from: Microsoft MS Streets and Trips 2004 (CD-ROM)

Do you ever feel that buying upgrades are a waste of money. Well, this one is a waste of your money. I bought into the hype that you can locate ATM's anywhere in the country and the maps were updated.

If your looking for an ATM in Maine, Alabama, Vermont, Wisconsin, and other states, don't bother. Streets and Trips show there are no ATM's in most of the United States. Canada has a few.

The Maps are not updated as well. A seven year old neighborhood still isn't showing up in Streets and Trips. Other programs and the internet map sites have had our neighborhood for a few years.

If you have an old copy of Street and Trips or MapPoint, continue to use and save your money. I guess this is how a company can continue making a billion dollars a month without creating anything new. Lets hope in a few years Streets and Trips will be brought up to date and include what the marketing guys tell us.

...so many books... (mid-Atlantic region of the USA) - See all my reviews

Superb! It's like having an enormous pile of maps, but in a smaller package to pack, and it is tiny & weightless to pack if you're flying first.

We've used this on cross-country trips - especially useful if you're in a remote location without cellphone or internet service - you can still plan your next leg of driving or get answers to many questions by running the program on any laptop computer... we were able to help fellow travelers too.
