Summary: MS Expedia Streets is the only way to go!
Review: A poor aqttempt to compete with MS.

The following is a list of MAJOR draw-backs:

1 - Can not get route info from one place to an other without access to the Internet (how many of you have internet in your car?)

2 - GPS support is very buggy. At least it is with my Garmin GPS 12XL (only the single most popular GPS sold in the last few years). I had to keep switching speed & NMEA vers, etc (basically I tweaked with it & I could not find an consistant setting that work well for any length of time)...

3 - If you zoom in and out too much map data disappears. Very irritating because you have to relaunch the program and enable gps functionality. Pretty difficult when driving down the road! This nice "feature" also shows up when the map refreshes it self. WONDERFUL!

4 - Overall the GUI is very buggy and not consitant with standard MS Windows functionality (double-click to select objects, etc.)

I would have to say that this software basically sucks and is a major waste of cash! Buy MS Expedia Streets!!!
