this is not worth the money. The timing is off. It starts telling you your off route when you are not....

ugh.
The information support on Microsoft's webstie is severely lacking. Updating the software does not seem to be possible...even when brand-new. And since we had a new tollway extension in '07, it would have been nice to have that ON the '08 S&T--or at least updatable.
I've only tried the GPS once (when in Ft. Lauderdale), and it didn't work. Would try it again, but I got a Navagon for Fathers' Day...so I don't need it.
I like the concept of trip optimization. However, it still needs some work.

Streets & Trips 2008
Even though it is 2008, there are roads built in 2005-2006 not in the directions. Makes for a HUGE problem.
Other than that, it works as advertised.

Its amazing
This product is great. I hardly ever lose and signal when using this product. It must be used outside so its perfect when driving in a car, Have it navigate your directions for you. It even has a trip planner. Best thing about it no monthly fees!

Almost a winner
It's called Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008, but the maps are probably five years old. It's mostly accurate. I would say the positioning is entirely accurate, but since several of the roads we travel have been rebuilt or built since the maps were last updated, it sometimes shows us driving through a field, where the new road or modified road has been built. It's a minor annoyance, and I haven't run into an issue that I oouldn't figure out a way around, even using the outdated maps. The routing sometimes isn't what I would choose, but by adding waypoints, I can always get it to go in what looks like a more efficient manner.
The USB adapter for the GPS sensor is junk, and the reason I had to purchase the 2008 version was because when the adapter broke on the 2007 version, it was cheaper to buy the program with hardware, than to replace the broken part. It looks like a $5 piece of plastic and is as flimsy as a $1 piece of plastic, but when You can finally find it, it costs $40 plus $12 for shipping for a replacement. Be very very careful.
Still - it's a functional GPS, and I can plug the speakers from my laptop into my radio and and adjust the volume so that I can play MP3's and still get the announcements of the next instruction through the radio.
It's still a cheaper option than the 3 inch screen portable GPS's.
