Trip planning software

I've been using Streets and Trips since ~2006. I used the Rand Mcnally atlas to manually enter all the scale houses, low clearances and restricted routes. Over the years I have enters MANY more that weren't in the atlas because contrary to what people will have you believe, Rand McNally is not the be all and end all.

Sadly, S&T has recently been discontinued so maybe take a look at Copilot. As far as I know these were the only two software applications available that allowed the user to modify the route by click and drag. This is a mandatory feature in my book.

btw if you are installing on the newer computer like windows 8.0/8.1

Do this:
Microsoft Support and the simple solution is to install The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.

You can get the one for your OS here;
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=Microsoft%20Visual%20C%2B%2B%202010...tributable%20Package

The steps to make this work are:

1. Install the program from disk. (you can click on the icon to confirm the install and see the missing file message)
2. Download the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package for your computer.
3. Click on Streets & Trips 2013 and Voilà it works.

Then install the .net 3.5 in the control panel
