MS Streets and Trips 2006
I upgraded to Streets and Trips 2006 from the 2002 version. They have included many new streets that were not available in the 2002 version. They have also included many new motels, resturants, etc. I like the trip planner, but it could be tweaked to be a little nicer. I dislike the distance measuring feature, although I use it a lot. Overall I am pleased with the product.

Just OK
We had a hard time loading this program for some reason. Fortunately I am married to someone who works on computers all day and he was able to configure it so that it works. I am still playing with the pushpins to mark certain locations. We like the feature of being able to download construction zones and alternates- that is very helpful. Overall, it is a good program, but difficult to get running.

Excellent Mapping Software
I don't believe you can find a better mapping product for the price anywhere!!

Updated, but nothing truly new and significant
Version shows upgrades to mapping sequences but truly nothing new and different from the 2003 version.

Beware: Location of "places" not reliable...
On several occasions "places" identified on the map are erroneously located. Ergo, while I find "Streets and Trips" an invaluable travel tool, to save yourself some trouble you should be careful to verify just where some of those "places" really are.
