ProsIt's easy to use. Has lot's of info & good graphics. ConsIt only has maps of MAJOR cities. You can download maps, but they're the same ones that come with the CD, so downloading them isn't worth it. from Dell.com I originally purchased Streets and Trips 2008, hoping for pocket pc availability, but there was none. So I purchased Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005, thinking I could use it as a base from which to download newer maps. from Amazon.com I think it is better to by the Streets & Trips 2005 because you get a gps device and when you install the software you get pocket streets too so thats more worth it. I think the product is pretty good due to the fact that i use it on my smart phone, its like a map in the palm of my hand. from Amazon.com We use Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005 in our duties as fire & EMS workers. Although we know our districts pretty well, due to recent growth and expansion resulting in more and more streets to keep up with, it's nice to have Pocket Streets on our pocket PC's so we can quickly look up an address. from Amazon.com This is a complete joke. The only cities that are in the program for U. S. from Amazon.com This always was a Microsoft good program, who needs know how be and for where, this is a good choice from Amazon.com I purchased this program recently, and was very disappointed. The maps are very limited...for example, most of the major tourist areas (beaches, Newport, ect.) in Rhode Island are cut out of the RI map. I recommend buying MS Streets and Trips 2005 (which includes Pocket Streets 2005 in the box) instead: from Amazon.com There are NO features at all. To make things worse, when zoomed out, the display is littered with the names of every little village and hamlet you've never heard of, leaving the names of recognizable towns a cities nowhere to be found. Also, at these zoom levels, most roads, streets and highways are not visible, making navigation impossible. This app does not even come close to qualifying as a GPS nav system. from Amazon.com Overall, an okay product. Many people complain their street isn't shown or recent construction isn't shown, but it takes about 3 years for new mapping data to make it all the way from satellite imagery, to purchasable data for companies like Microsoft to obtain, and then into their finalized product. So, if that new road, neighborhood, etc. from Amazon.com This is simply awful! I would expect this type of performance from some no-name brand software purchased at a flea market - not from Microsoft! I think they must of contracted this off to some really low bidder. from Amazon.com
