Needs lots of Update and improvement
I was very disappointed by using this MS product. I think this has not been updated since years. Many addresses are not found. It cannot communicate with my current GPS device and after few minutes " GPS device not found" is displayes. While my GPS utility can still see satellites and I can see data flowing.
Voice prompt does not tell the name of street to turn but simply says in how many feet. In big cities where multiple highways start from one ramp, chances are to miss the right highway unless you memorize every turn before start or turn your head to look at the laptop screen which is very dangerous.
Voice response is very slow and if you are driving little fast , you will miss street and will have to come back.
Called customer service and they don't have any solution for compatibility problem.
In big cities like Chicago or New York very hard to get signal.

Accurate and Easy to Use
Excellent product. Far superior to free on-line maps. Easy to use. Just remember to update if you want to be current with new streets each year.

Not so bad!
Still, If we are able to launch Google Map without having network connection, That will be better solution. But, To confirm the direction while I drive, This is the best choice for me! ??

Love it!!
We tried this software out in our laptop on our last trip camping and it was wonderful! It was very nice not having to try to fgure out the directions as we went, but rather to just listen for the directions for which way to turn and how much time/mileage we had to go before our exits, etc.
WE would highly recommend this software for use with a GPS in the car! A much cheaper alternative to a "Tom-Tom."
