Pros:If you have used any version of streets and trips since 2002 you will feel fright at home with this version, it is exactly the same. You will be able to down load the construction updates that they turned off for the older versions.
Cons:I use a Garmin GPS 18 with my laptop and I bought this to see if it was a better interface. I am so totally disappointed in this product. All of the faults and flaws from S&T 2002 are still there and now they have been expanded to cover a GPS as well. If you get off their route, it will tell you that you are off route, with out the slightest chance that it will automatically recalculate the route, or twll you how to get back on the route. To recalculate you have to go back to the route planner, clear the route and re-enter the destination and press F5 to make it recalculate the route from the current location. If it decides that the other way is still the best route it will go with it and tell you 'off route' with no hint of how to get back on route unless you stop and study the map and figure out where you are and where it wants you to go. A simple turnn around would be so much more helpful.
Overall Review:The Icons are very small and if you expect to glance over at them while you are driving, you had better have 20/20 vision. Very unfriendly and frustrating to use in a vehicle. The free software with the Garmin is so far superior to this it embarrases me that I paid $40 for this junk. After telling it to keep the icon centered I immediately 'drove off the edge of the map' and 20 seconds later it snapped over and just barely had me on the edge of the screen. It wouldn't be so bad if it kept you at the edge of the screen and all the roads in front of you were displayed, but all you get is all the roads you have passed and about 300 feet in front.
