   I've used Streets & Trips for years and the newest version doesn't disappoint. The latest information and trip planning are just a few of it's strengths.

   I have tried Map Quest and others before, but I always go back to Streets and Trips. On Map Quest for instance, you only get a small map of what you want, but on Streets and Trips, you get the whole map. You put in a start address and a town, or address, and it shows you both spots on the map and you just click the button asking for directions and it pulls up the directions for you to take. It even has an update button so you can get updates right on your computer and then you can ask for it to tell you where you will have road construction, so that you can try to avoid these locations or plan another route to be able to bypass them all together.
   Thanks, I will buy this product again.

   Always use prior to a trip.
   Able to plan stops and rest periiods.
   Accurate summaries help at tax time.
   Note: The trip instructions are too detailed.
   Just highlight the areas of major change before the trip.

   Thsi product is easy to install. It is loads and runs fast as I scroll from place to place. It is a great alternative to 'online maps' when I don't have wifi or internet access.

   I have read several reviews that there is no ability to create a box for zooming. Not so, just right click, hold and drag to create the box over the area to zoom.
