    Are there any GPS type programs that can be installed on my laptop? I would not use it as my only trip planning method but as a double check type program. :biggrin_25525:

    I have both, Streets and Trips 2009, and DeLorme Street Atlas 2010. I seem to use S&T more. for me it is easier, and can get mileages the meet or beat practical miles, and that is like getting paid for miles I didn't have to run. OF course have to double check the routes, cause it doesn't know truck routes. The GPS part of S&T seems to line up better than Delorme, but with Delorme, I can download Satellite views, like google has.

    Then of course my HTC Hero phone has Sprint Navagation, and Google maps with GPS too.

    I should never get lost. hah

    Street and Tip that's for cars, Your better off getting copilot you can't go wrong with that or pc miler, I never once had a problem with either even has Hazmat routing. I didn't buy it legal tho I never buy programs and i give them away for free to who ever wants them.
