Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 Software is an easy-to-use, hands-free trip planning and guidance
solution. Whether you're running errands or planning a cross-country road trip,
Streets and Trips 2006 offers customizable maps and information on more than 1.8
million points of interest (POIs), such as restaurants, ATMs, museums,
campgrounds and more. Online or off, Streets and Trips 2006 provides updated
maps that give you accurate, detailed door to door directions and puts 5.9
million miles of routable roads and highways throughout the US and Canada at
your fingertips. Customizable trip
planning features allow you to plan multiple stops, find nearby places to visit,
calculate drive time, and more.
Taking advantage of the enhanced trip planning software is easy
with Streets and Trips. With a
customizable viewing pane, you can display turn-by-turn directions, including
street names, in large type for easy viewing, and large, easy-to-see arrows that
indicate the direction of your next turn. The pane displays the distance to your
destination in miles or yards, and for a quick "at-a-glance" view, a
thermometer-style bar shows the relative distance you've travelled. To create a
route and generate directions, you simply type in the starting and ending
locations and click on "Get Directions." It's that simple. Your trips can
include multiple segments, and you can instruct the software to customize your
route by telling it what types of roads you want to travel, how much gas your
car has, and the general area where you want to stop to gas up. Streets and
Trips 2006 will do the rest, giving you your optimal itinerary, down to the
precise gas station. Overall you'll have access to over 1.8 million local POIs
such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations and ATMs, and by planning ahead,
Streets and Trips 2006 will help you avoid delays with construction updates and
other recent changes to your route.
To find a certain point of interest, such as restaurants or gas stations, you simply select
from 35 POI types to display on the map. You have the option of searching within
a certain radius of an address that you choose, your current location, a
specific direction within a planned route, or all of the POIs along the entire
route. Your results are displayed in a directory-tree listing. When you click on
a POI, a balloon box pops up on the map with detailed information, including an
address and phone number, and if you right-click on the POI icon, you can add it
to your route list.

experience, Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 offers a link to MSN Virtual Earth,
