Microsoft Street&Trips is gone for good

oh well, i found it too sophisticated anyways. but alls not lost, they switching to bing maps.

i didn't see any use for it. specially if it can't route in a proper manner,. but pcnavigator is free. give that a whirl.

msft isn't the only game in town. and google is your friend for other resources.

 

I knew their Bing maps would intervene the way they try to shove it down everyone's throats. I'm getting where I don't like some of their practices.

On the good side my Streets and Trips disc just doubled in value. I'll put it on eBay!

 

i've got a 2001 edition. with transmitter that don't have drivers available past xp. and no way for bluetooth. since that tech didn't exist.

 

It didn't take me a couple times to realize I didn't like having a 15" GPS sitting on the passenger seat.

I used it a few times for trip planning after that before the cobwebs set in.

 

That's a shame, but I continued to rely on v2001 for years before upgrading, and continued to use it frequently and often primarily thereafter.

S&T was the first consumer GIS app covering 50 states, and v2001 the first to interface with GPS. I found it so accurate, I have to laugh at myself, when I finally discovered an error I wondered for months when and why they rerouted a few miles of US-78 between Olive Branch and Holly Springs MS.

TTBOMK v2001 still contains the most accurate and comprehensive map of US lakes, streams and rivers, including dry stream beds.

 

The good ole days. Or wait, the new good ole days. I use my Ram laptop mount as a coffee table now.

 

Lol, in 20 years they'll be saying the same thing referring to now. The good ole days never end.

 

Thing is.. we live in a great era regardless of gubermint involvement and technology evolution leaving the older generations behind or trying to.
We have to evolve with it and develop ourselves for our better good.
I have used google maps from day one, never liked the mapquest dookie but I did use streets and trips in my laptop when there was no internet connection available, so having it in your "pc" (personal computer, every one still calls it a laptop) is a great tool for routing.
