![]() ![]() #STREETS AND TRIPS 2011 TRIAL VERSION SOFTWARE#GPS that comes with MS can only tell the location, while the software provides advanced mapping, trip planning, and map browsing in a way that Garmin cannot do too well. Microsoft Streets and Trips is NOT designed to use for Garmin, and it is pointless to make it work with Garmin as Garmin is already loaded with maps, and basically has a lot of duplicate functionality. MIcrosoft Money was the one discontinued but not Microsoft Streets and Trips. I haven't checked, but there may be a "skin" to fix that, but it is, after all, only cosmetic, and certainly not a major problem. My only complaint is the dark toolbar which, I believe, was added for the 2009 version. A missing street in my community is now on the map, as is a recently constructed and opened freeway about 30 miles from my home. I checked and they have been fixed in the 2010 version. The 2008 version has some minor mapping errors in my area. If it were freeware, I would have given it a 5.Įdited Addition - The website is now up and I have my copy of the 2010 version. I gave this software a 4 because it is excellent (based on the 2008 version). Windows LIve ID is experiencing difficulties. However, I notice at the bottom of the "registration" page this "We are unable to complete your request. I know, of course, that the information I provided was correct. #STREETS AND TRIPS 2011 TRIAL VERSION PASSWORD#MS requires "registration" and while I am reqistered with MS, the webpage the download link sent me to told me that either my email address or password was wrong. That said, I was unable to download this trial of S and T, which I wanted to compare to my present 2008 version, to see if the maps in my area had been updated. Google is free, so if you don't want to pay for S and T, you still can do some of the things that S and T will do. (I can't let my wife outside the house without one.) But Garmin can't do many of the things Streets and Trips can do, and Google, while a great resource, cannot do many of the things that can be done with Streets and Trips, and those things that Google can do is frequently more difficult. As the owner of two Garmin GPS machines, i find them very useful. I will agree with tangentlin on all points. ![]()
