Works good, probably not for recreational user. July 14, 2010
Mobile tech
I purchased S&T 2010 w/locater to replace my older version from 07. I have no major complaints of either version except the only reason I replaced the older software was that I had broken my old gps reciever by not using the usb extention cable. It was a marginal price difference to buy the new package than to replace the gps unit alone. I use the program in my service van utilizing a ram-mount computer desk, hard wired power inverter, and full time satelite internet connection (used to run air cards). I could not imagine using it for personal use without the supporting equipment that I have set up. If you are looking for a gps system to use in your car for vacation or recreation, I would probably recommend one of the many self contained units on the market (but I do love the larger screen of the laptop!). Not much difference from old program to new. I dont think the new gps reciever is any more accurate, but had noticed the map updates only renew construction zones for route planning and does not update the actual maps. A good tool to use if you have internet access is the live bing search that overlays your map view to expand your search for locations past what is in the software. New features I do like are updated tool bar that seems to be a little more intuative and the coupons look pretty valuable if you have access to a printer. Some closing advise from experience and other reviews i have read, would be to use the gps extention cable, and every time before you start the gps tracking, configure the device. It only takes a few seconds and it seems to remedy any difficulties. Overall I am satisfied with the product, enjoying the ability to store many customer locations, easily accessing them, and even being able to transfer and print maps.
 It Really Works July 11, 2010

I had my doubts when I purchased this product, but the price was right, so I took a stab at it ... and am really glad that I did. It works beautifully and, with just a small amount of information from the instruction booklet, is basically intuitive.
MS Streets & Trips 2010 with GPS July 3, 2010
Dorothy R. Anderson (San Diego, CA)
This product is very easy to use, however there is a learning curve to overcome. I've used Streets & Trips for many years and have updated several times. This new version is fairly easy to configure but it was easier for me as I have used the product successfully for years. This version has a new GPS (different from the one I had from a couple of years ago). I have it installed on two of my laptops and it works wonderfully following my progress as I move across the country in our RV.
 No Warning It Does Not Work With Windows 7 Starter Edition June 28, 2010
BrianZ (Chester, VA USA)

For those with Windows 7 Starter Edition like my latest model Toshiba netbook, the GPS does not work with this edition of windows, yet both Microsoft and Amazon fail to mention this anywhere. Even microsoft's web site and troubleshooting guides do not provide any clues. Only after repeated installations of software and drivers and then finally visiting the [...] GPS driver manufacturer's web site to download the latest GPS driver for Win 7 did I finally discover their fine print stating:
"Note: the Windows 7 Starter Edition does not support the Sensor and Location Platform."
So, for anyone Windows 7 Starter edition, you can add another $80 to the cost for upgrading Windows 7. After 4 months using this netbook, this is the first time I have run into any software or hardware that did not work under the Win7 starter edition. I plan to get the upgrade, and hopefully Streets and Trips will be working after that and I may change my rating, but for now, be warned.

The product came on a dvd with no warning to that effect so I couldn't load it on the laptop I was planning to use. I would also like to see churches added to the points of interest in the product. Other than that, it runs like any other issue of Streets and Trips.
