- Need for Street Names
Microsoft Street & Trips 2008 GPS with Connected Services

It would be extremely helpful if the spoken directions also included the street name as displayed in the written directions. Some other GPS software already includes this feature.

Otherwise the software worked as promised. We are very pleased with the product.

- Just not a very good product
Not only am I a gadget addict, I have a GPS jones as well. It all started with a Magellan RoadMate, then a Magellan Maestro 4040, then a Verizon Navigator on my LG VX 9900 cell phone, then Microsoft Street & Trips 2007 GPS, on to S&T 2008 with Connected Services, and on to a Tom Tom, and lastly to a DeLorme Earthmate GPS BT-20 for my Gateway laptop with a 17" screen.

- No Updates.
This product is amazing for the price ($150): the features that it has and the fact that it turns your laptop into a GPS map with a very large screen. The GPS locater is extremely accurate. I did not find the software features intuitive but they worked well once I figured them out. However, the mapping software(ie names of streets) was not up to date and I discovered to my distress that it is not updatable until the next version (2009) is released. Microsoft has this in common with several other GPS ... Read More
