 Horrible Interface - Better off with Delorme Street Atlas March 8, 2006
AM (Palatine, IL USA)

What is it with Microsoft and their interfaces - do they always have to cram all the crap they can into an interface so that it becomes unuseable. Especially in a GPS software you want minimal things interfering with what it is supposed to do best. Just show me the route and get out of the way! No - MSSST keeps trying to give every piece of infromation on the window - there is no way to close off all the extraneous information. Entering a new address requires two hands!! No direct way to automatically recalculate from the current GPS location.
Delorme Street Atlas has a better interface but still I felt the best interface was with the Mac Version of Street Atlas 2001 - after which Delorme discontinued it. However on the Windows side - dont even bother with this MS crap.

Don't waste your money buying this product. You are better off using the free maps online.
Neeto, but when the maps are really old, not good. October 12, 2005

I was fortunate to have my employer reimburse me for the outlay of $, and can't complain too loudly as if I didn't get it "free". Beyond the really cool features this program has, the old map data can really frustrate you. I rely (too much?) on this product to get me to specific addresses all over my territory (the 5th largest state in the US, and then some) and has led me down dead end roads, and couldn't find some streets that have been established, and are on other maps for more than 5 or 6 years. Wish the map portion was update-able as the "highway construction updates" (which don't usually help like a entire MAP update would) If you have the cash, buy a real GPS mapping software/device package that updates it's maps (Garmin, etc)
 MS Streets & Trips 2005 October 5, 2005

I love the product but am very disappointed with Microsoft and growing more and more discouraged with many of that products the carry a mail-in rebate. In this case, MS would not provide me with the rebate because I didn't send in a proof of purchase bar code, which was never explained to me in the rebate literature. I sent everything else I could think of and then threw away the box thinking that I would have been contacted by now if there was a problem. Not true - just the other day, they sent me the letter that I was not eligible. Needless to say, I'm not happy. I was also the owner of an earlier version and probably could have qualified for an upgrade.
 Works just great September 25, 2005

Works fine, the software does exactly what it promises.
Helps locate addresses, sorts them, and plans your route or stops.
