2007 an Improvement December 18, 2007
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.

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

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!
 It works just like it should November 16, 2007

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.
 Ask Yourself One Simple Question Before Buying November 1, 2007

Strets and trips works as advertised, but may be completely useless for some. This is the key: How many of the places that you need navigation assistance to find would you feel comfortable in either leaving your laptop computer in your car, or taking your laptop computer inside when you arrive? The answer for me is very few, and the result is that I used Streets&Trips just one time before storing it away in a drawer six months ago. Just got one of the Garmin Nuvi 360s which is easier to use and fits nicely in my pocket. As a result,I actually use it.
