User Submitted Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 [OLD VERSION] Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-07-23 Five stars overall, but only Three for Pocket PC Version This is the best S&Ts by far with voice commands and large directional and distance information; connects effortlessly to Magellan GPS. Just came back from a 500 mile trip with it running the whole time.... took me right to the door of a destination I had never been to before. Accurate every step of the way... excellent voice quality on direction and distance.... One does not even have to look at the laptop screen for an entire trip. Well worth twice the price. What is missing on the pocket PC version is fantastic on the laptop version: the route and the voice info.... so 5 stars for the PC version and 3 stars for the pocket PC version. I still would not be without it for the pocket PC even with the shortcomings. Date: 2006-07-09 VERY BAD PRODUCT. I bought this about a month back for a trip to New York and Niagara. This is the worst product I have ever used. I'm a Sr. Software Engineer by profession and I don't understand how Microsoft can even release such a bad software in the market. Bottom line - you should never buy this software. Date: 2006-06-30 STREETS AND TRIPS 2006 A JOKE ! Boy o boy I should of listened to the reviews (negative) of this product. First of all, I wasnt even able to test out the GPS system that came with the software. After I hooked the GPS into the usb port it did not even detect it. My computer is a new Dell E1705 and there is NOTHING wrong with my usb ports. I called customer service and after about an hour worth of useless trouble shooting, he told me I had the option to return the product since it comes with a 30- day money back gurnatee (THANK GOD). Microsoft A BILLION dollar company? pft. They can't even come out with a GPS and atlas/roadmap Software that actually works. I guess its back to good ole mapquest.com. If you are planning to get the software trust me don't. Just read all the customer reviews and you'll be convinced that this product is not worth the money. Save the 100.00 and use it on gas forvyour next road trip. Pay 0.00 for mapquest! Trust me you'll thank me later!!! Date: 2006-06-25 2006 Streets & Trips This poduct isnj't as reliable as previous versions. It is almost impossible to load without tweaking the registry and once loaded often causes a complete system crash. I went back to the 2005 version until they comeout with 2007 which hopefully will be more reliable. Date: 2006-06-23 Another Buggy Release! I was really expecting some improvement in the 2006 version. I think the 2004 version had the most items that worked. They FIXED the Post offices not appearing in "Show Places". Microsoft just ELIMINATED Post Offices as a search item. When I try to update construction information, I am told "An internet connection is required to downlosad construction updates. Your computer is not configured properly to connect to the internet."?? I have a permanent wireless connection via a cable modem (or whatever connection is offered at hotels I stop at) to the internet on my laptop. No solution has been offered. This was NOT an issue with 2005 and prior versions!!?? I hate buggy software! They did fix some missing Interstate interchanges in Pennsylvania. (They used to have you travelling around on local streets until you came to an interchange they did show).
