User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star streets and trips stinks
This program stinks. you need to enter a new starting point every time you use it even though most people start from the same point usualy. The user friendly aspect is poor, the maps are only so so. I found much older products to be much easier and smarter. I bet whoever designed this product doesn't actualy use it!

5 Stars Great PC map program
I have since upgraded to the 2008 version. This was good enough that upgrading was a no brainer.

4 Stars 2007 an Improvement
I'm a long-time user of Streets and 2007 has some subtle improvements, including a full-screen view when using the GPS. The full-screen view has a large button to re-route if you miss a turn (not like anyone tries to use the laptop while driving) and an estimated arrive time. I purchased 2007 since it sounds like the 2008 product activiation can be a nightmare.

2 Stars Had to return it
The GPS unit stopped working the first time we tried it so we had to return it for a refund.

5 Stars It works just like it should
We sold our Garmin and bought this. What a welcome surprise. We bought it for traveling now that we are retired. We installed it in an inexpensive Gateway laptop. After a bit of practice we had it doing exactly what we wanted. It is not hard to use and the receiver works. The only thing we would like to see improved is the voice volume. The software is very intuitive and you don't have to unlock maps and go through a lot of changes to make it work. It costs less than a Garmin and works a lot better. If you buy one, spend a little time learning the software and reading the manual before taking a long trip. You will be very pleased with all that it does. We will never buy anything Garmin, but we will certainly upgrade this software.
