Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: An Old Fashioned Tool in the GPS Age Comment: Although this is a good planning tool, it seems obsolete in this age of very affordable gps devices. Liked the software and how easy it was to use, but again would not use it often in the place of my gps device. Customer Rating: Summary: Works as Advertised Comment: Works fine on my laptop computer with an external GPS receiver. I've used this mapping software for years and it continues to provide a good balance of user friendliness and depth. Routing function is very helpful. I would purchase again. Customer Rating: Summary: The best mapping software Comment: I have been using Microsoft Streets and Trips for many years. This is still my preferred mapping software for the following reasons : - Ease of use - Accurate and up-to-date information. The program constantly checks for the latest updates for route planning - Information for nearby places (such as restaurants and gas stations..which are great while I am on a trip) - Free coupons (there is a catch. You get a 14 days/ 25 coupons free trial but then have to pay $30 annual fee) - excellent customer support. I contacted support once for installation issue. They would continue to follow-up days after to make sure my problems were corrected. What I would like to see for future enhancements : - allows exporting of maps to PDAs - yellow pages for business reference All in all, this is a great piece of software for my desktop and laptop. Customer Rating: Summary: Prefer Delorme Comment: I have used Delorme Street Atlas for years and prefer their interface. Roads and routing are about the same. I guess it is all in what you are used to. Customer Rating: Summary: More Useful Than Expected Comment: In this day and age where we have just about every kind of mapping program available to us via the web or even on Smartphone's, why would we need a standalone software map program? That was my mindset when getting into Microsoft Streets & Trips. While I still find many of its features on par with the free web mapping options, it's trip planner option makes it worth the investment. Microsoft's Streets & Trips has a very easy to use interface. All of your mapping and trip options are well labeled and are easy for the most novice users. The trip planner was very fun and exciting to use as we could schedule side trips to take on our way to our main destination. While it was nice to have an option to send info to your mobile device, I think it would be great to have a full, mobile version of this problem. If you want to plan a road trip with many stops, this is the best option out there. If you just want some basic mapping options, your best bet is the free online mapping programs.
