Review by Sherry Berry

This is the first time I ever got a maps and streets program. Usually, I just go onto google maps and search it up. The installation process of this was easy. Although, for some reason, the first installation got corrupted and I had to re-install, which is not a big deal to me.

I am usually an expert when it comes to computer softwares and this took just a little bit of a learning curve. While it is pretty easy to figure out how to plan a route, it would have been nicer if the route options had its own button in the top bar.

I enjoyed the options, seeing how much fuel would be needed to get to a certain place. What I found though when searching for nearby places is that it was very difficult to find some restaurants, even though I know it is there. And searching for Six Flags was kind of an art as it had to be typed in a certain way for it to find the one that we were looking for. Another feature that it lacks is the text message feature. While I have found a way to text an address to my phone, there was really no option for me to text the full route to my phone, which was irritating. I also tried to look online and in the manual with no real help.

Overall, it’s a decent software with still a lot of features I have no use for (GPS for example). I still do go onto google maps since it is easiest way to get directions from point A to B.
