 Great, easy to use mapping software! August 18, 2004

I love this program. We use it alot at work and at home for making maps. I used to use mapquest, but you can do so much more with this. I especially like the feature of searching for hotels, restaurants, etc within a certain distance of a point on the map.
The only con I can think of is that the addresses arent exactly in the right position, but not everything is built exactly where the address should be!
I highly recommend this or any other year of this software. The only reason to upgrade if you already have one of the previous versions of this software is the newer roads (which I need being a road contractor).

I bought this higher priced product thinking it that it would be easy to use and up to date. Well, I was wrong. I used it to check to see if this product showed a shopping mall in my neighbor and it didn't. It didn't even show the roads being there and the fact that the shopping mall has been there for 3 years is quite maddening. Trying to get directions from the help section is truly a nightmare. The one thing that it does do well is connect you to the website where they try to sell more microsoft products.
 Great program! July 28, 2004

I used DeLorme Street Atlas USA for years before switching to S&T a few years ago. I find it to be much better than DeLorme, which had a really cumbersome interface and didn't show nearly as much point-of-interest detail, e.g., restaurants, schools, parks, hospitals, etc. That's one of the things I like most about S&T. I've yet to enter an address it couldn't find, and the route planner is excellent. The 2004 version is the best yet.

Beware purchasing Microsoft Streets and Trips programs. I received this software free along with my purchase in 2000 of a Dell portable computer. I grew to love MS Streets and Trips and used it for every trip I would take, to map the area I was going to. Then I upgraded to Windows XP and POOF! Streets and Trips software worked no more. When I called both Dell and Microsoft to find out why, I was told I needed to pay $30 for a one-time technical assistance session to fix the problem! What a complete and utter rip off! Next time I'll find some other software made by a company who isn't as error-prone and/or greedy.
 Plenty of errors but still useable July 4, 2004

We use the plan a route feature mostly and for the most part it does the trick. We need directions in a rural setting and there are a lot of county roads and this program is woefully lacking in information on these rural roads. Plus when it does ferret one out many time it is not even in the same area you told it to look. Plus several time it gave wrong turning directions(turn south when it should have been north). I would expect more from microsoft but thats about the same as expecting your government to change, it ain't happenin'. I will look elsewhere next time I am looking for mapping software for sure.
