Summary: Don't bother to buy 2008!
Comment: I had older versions and used them on several of MY computers. This version installed on both my laptop (great for travel) and desktop, but when my laptop crashed and I bought a new one, I was not allowed to install a 3rd time. I called tech support and was told I should use all lower case for the key code even when the key code is shown in caps and installed properly the first time using caps. I asked for a supervisor who then told me I was allowed only ONE installation!!!
What idiots!! Although I really like Streets and Trips I will no longer upgrade. I have a Garmin and a Dash, so it is not a big issue for me (except that I wasted my money).
I am going to install 2008 and go back to 2007.

Summary: Great Laptop GPS Software!
Comment: Great laptop GPS software when traveling. It has a good data base for finding campgrounds, food stores, places of interest and the list goes on. Just like any other GPS and routing software your have to review your information to your liking. You must make the final decision.

Summary: Microsoft streets and Trip 2008
Comment: I really liked the 2004 Version of the M/S Streets and trip, but I needed the updated map database so I also bought this 2008 version. I would have prefered that they left the options to same as the 2004 version. Some problems with this 2008 version is the street speeds can not be set to force a route. This was very good feature if I was planning a bicycle route, not on freeways or busy road. This method old method allowed me more flexablity to force a route.
I really like either program for the nice 11 inch by 17 inch maps it can print. This is much cleaner and larger then the current web base program. I also use the built in phone number list for hotels when traveling. a good feature. And finding the closest food when traveling.
Its a great program to have in a notebook computer.
My recommendation to Microsoft would be to leave the old 2004 version as is and just sell updated databases. The new versions runs much slower then the 2004 version because it forces X/P to load the very lastest version of update of Net/ Framework. And it seems to check the license when loading the program alot.

Customer Rating:
Summary: This is great!
Comment: I've used Microsoft Street and Trips for maybe six years now, and I've always upgraded it when it's available.
You can type in the address of anyplace you're looking for, and zoom in at any resolution to see the location of your destination.
I keep folders of each city I travel to with all the customers' locations noted. There is also a place to note phone numbers and contacts.
I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to see just where some place is, especially if you want to see a destination in relation to other destinations.
But even if you're only looking for one place, it's good.
