Streets and Trips delivers a mapping solution that offers much more than what is available online. It doesn’t require an Internet connection to use, and there are no distracting ads. You also get options to customize your trips by start and stop times, driving speeds, or even road types. Use Streets and Trips to plan and customize routes in advance, and keep directions at your fingertips.


The basic features of Streets & Trips include address search, route creation, multiple-stop route optimization, GPS navigation, import and export of data, and it includes numerous map annotation tools letting users add text and draw on the map.
Streets and Trips software offers many more features than the various free online maps do. All the map data is installed on the computer’s hard drive, so the use of the program is not dependent on the Internet connection.


New in this version
Streets and Trips 2011
Updated street-level maps for the United States, Canada, Mexico, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico – Streets & Trips 2011 includes approximately a year and a half fresher map data than the previous version, 6,538,642 miles of navigable roads (up 88K miles from last release), 1.9 million points of interest.
Get notified of new products and services - This is Microsoft's 3rd iteration of this feature. In 2009 there was a simple implementation that popped up a small dialog box letting the user know that a new version is available. In 2010, it was expanded so the text in the message could be changed and messages could be displayed to any version of the product including the multilingual versions of MapPoint and AutoRoute. Now in 2011, Microsoft has the ability to show the user an image on launch. It can alert users to a new version or a special promotion or to a cool new tip on laptopgpsworld.com LOL. Send map feedback - Send missing data/road information directly to NAVTEQ, the map data provider, rather than via Microsoft. On the menu bar, click Help, then select Send map feedback. On a couple of occasions in the past, I sent map data corrections to Navteq, and I was delighted to find out they had a system in place that would actually let the user know the result of their investigation. Simplified setup/installation - The installer no longer prompts the user to set Bing as the homepage for the web browser, and there are no more Bing Toolbar options, etc. Some improvement in the driving instructions over previous releases - One of the subtle improvements is the richer "towards" signpost data.
