    Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005 - Way Better!!!!!!

    I just purchased the 2005 version of the product. I must say it's the best to date. The gps functionality has been changed. The maps now can centre on the page as you drive. Also the maps can swivel with the direction of your travel. It nice because it displays the map as always moving up. So it's more align to what you are seeing outside of your vehicle.

    Microsoft has also included the auto route when you are off coarse. You have to click on the auto-route button, but it works. It calculated the new route just fine.

    After playing around with it for about 4 hours. I must say that Microsoft has finally listen to people.

    I was going to buy the copy with their gps sensor. I just did not like the "Microsoft" label which is embedded into the top of the gps sensor. When someone from the street looks into my wind shield and see stuff like that. It's gone.

    I was more than happy with my $49.00+$15 rebate purchase.

    Dwaine.
