Pass This Over for a Dedicated GPS Unit
With prices of GPS units dropping below $150, the utility of Microsoft Streets & Trips is becoming less and less.

Good Nav Features – Great Planning Features
I love gadgets and gizmos and I REALLY love GPS devices & nav systems. I’ve used plenty of them over the past few years.

Beware of the GPS cord
Compared to older versions the cord is too short. Had to use the cord from an older version to get a connection.

Microsoft Streets & Trips
My son purchased an early version. After using his I bought the new one. It works great with a few new features. Not a lot of programing to do. Very acurate.
