Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 With GPS Locator
I have used Microsoft Streets and Trips in the past, this was my first time with the GPS included. It has been helpful in getting to my desired destinations as well as pinpointing current location. I recommend this product.

one of these must-have software
I have been using MS Street & Trip since 2000. This 2006 version is an update for me, mostly because of the added GPS function. Although all kinds of maps are availabel on the web, it is still a must to have a copy of software like this installed on our portable laptop. The map part may not be very different than earlier versions, except a few fix and updates here and there. It is the added GPS function that make it really part of our daily life.

Nice to have it if you don't have any other ....
small personal or built-in GPS unit.
If your budget allows, go GET a tom tom or garmin.
My real experience, from booting up my laptop to finally locate me & my destination. 5+ minutes.
Buy or Pass ? My wallet is small, this unit serves me well with this purpose.

Objective Review
I use it quite often and have been impressed with the accuracy of elevation, speed readings and generally accuracy of the route planner except that on a very recent trip from Washington State to Nevada it routed me on highways that are closed in winter so had I not already known about this I would have lost many miles and backtracked. The GPS is awesome but the route planner needs updated.

OK as a map, not so good as a GPS
I found this product more useful as a "portable" map than a GPS. Its biggest problem is the lack of wrong way recalculation. So if I go a wrong way, I have to park my car and find my way back. I bought a portable GPS eventually, and found it much useful than this product.
