Review by Margie Read

The techniques which have been developed in the past twenty-five years for GPS, trip planning, and streets across the country are amazing and have enabled us to do things we never dreamed of in the past. Micosoft Streets & Trips is a nice addition to current trip planning software. How can anyone get lost these days with such helpful planning that this program offers? Even on a road we travel often, S & T offers new things along the way–good restaurants we might not have known about, state parks and historical sites. For many of us, it is as much fun to plan a trip as to go on one, and this is where S & T is a real jewel. We can take all sorts of routes, make changes, go off on side trips, right from the keyboard of our computer. And,with high gas prices now, it is also very helpful to calculate the expected costs. I hope the feature addressing construction on our chosen route works this summer when our area chooses to do a lot of repairs. I haven’t had this program very long, but I am pleased with it and expect to enjoy using it for some time to come. It should also be very helpful for our new employee who has just moved to our city and has to make a number of office trips all over town.
