S&T 2009 is the only product of this type, as far as I know, that has been made available as a free trial download. How long is the trial period? One day? One week? One month? No! Try it for 60 days! :)
A brief description of some of the new features, and other details, have been posted in Streets and Trips 2009 review.
Excellent... S&T 2K9 was a much awaited release.
Thanks Marvin for posting it here as well
Can the freakin' guidance window (the big black bar at the bottom with turn left/right/ etc) be resized or does it still take up half (or more) of the screen?
One thing they do have finaly is a kind of 3d view, like most handheld and car mount GPS do. I also like the side pane with speed, altitude, and direction. I have found that helpful in making sure my speedo is calibrated, if that makes sense.
Best new feature?
Gotta be auto start gps tracking.
