By Got Lost
If you own a netbook using Streets and Trips as a relacement for a GPS is an alternative. Microsoft has done only a fair job with S and T. It is not easy to use particularly when driving along. Please stop the car before playing with it. Shortcomings:
Does not remember favourites.
It does not assume that you are on a road so frequently says "off route"
It does not change scale as you get close to a turn.
Positives:
It does allow you to plan trips and stops on the computer first.
You can use your netbook for other purposes too.
It is cheaper than a GPS

This product was easy to install and seems to work as suggested. Unfortunately, one of the first screens that came up was that I can pay another 25 dollars and get the latest issue. I had thought I had bought the latest issue. So I am disappointed. Had I seen I could buy a newer model, I would have purchased it in the first place.
