Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator Works

I purchased this software to help travel into industrial areas that are not well marked and often have street signs that do not existent. This software worked very well with the following limitations:^M

Great mapping software, but annoying driving guidance

The Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator package consists of two components: an award-winning mapping program that allows flexibility in mapping not found online, and a hardware GPS receiver. The map part is nothing short of being excellent. It's up-to-date (even for the Big Dig!), it's easy to use, and it's visually pleasing. It's also integrated (sort of) with Microsoft's excellent Live Local online mapping service, where you can get bird's eye view as well as true 3D maps.^M

works pretty well

All I can say is, the product works pretty well for my recent trip to Rochester, NY, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The receiver worked flawlessly, the direction I was given is fairly simple and clear. Of course nothing is perfect as in this case the MST could not accurately determine whether the street doesn't allow left turns or not. Overall for the price and what you get in the package, it's a deal and you'll like it. It is great for highway and expressway traveling, the voice helped too.
