    This might be to new for some one to tell me what they think about it. but i bought it last week. Well i run 2006 off of a laptop with the gps indicator and last week i broke the indicator so i thought no big deal here's excuse to go buy 07 version, Well if anyone has used 06 version with gps you know one end goes into usb port the other into the indicator well on the 07 version one goes into ubs port and the other end into a thing that looks like a flash card and that goes into the indicator. Sitting up in the windshield the vibration of the truck makes the flash card part come loose and lose the signal. I took it back where i bought it and exchanged it for a new one just got home from trip guess what it did the same thing. This one sucks and i am going to try to find a 06 gps indicator cause i still have the 06 software to go back to. I hope microsoft changes there new indicator. Some one tell me what they think.

    Well I have an older version of Streets and trips (2005) with the GPS..

    It works good but I have to update it. To many new streets now... Wonder if the new plain version will work with the older GPS or do I have to update the whole thing..

    The new GPS is backward compatible with the older versions. Also the newer GPS is so sensitive that it can be plugged directly into the USB port of the computer and work perfectly. It even works in my living room with all the curtains closed.
