MS Streets & Trips 2000 PC CD planning driving directions addresses travel GPS! Type: Application Platform: Windows Publisher: Microsoft Released: 1999 Media: CD Allows users to calculate door-to-door driving directions throughout the United States, find and map street addresses, places or points of interest, and search a comprehensive guide of travel planning information for North America.Microsoft has made a good deal better by merging two products--Streets 98 and Trip Planner 98--into its new Expedia Streets & Trips 2000. At $45, this terrific aid for planning a road trip or printing a route map costs as much as the previous two products sold in a bundle. But it's still less than half the combined cost of Rand McNally's competing TripMaker and StreetFinder packages. And my preproduction copy of Streets & Trips 2000 rivals Rand McNally's trip-planning duo in content while surpassing it in accessibility and design.The planner launches with a map of the United States on the right and a route-planning box on the left. Identify start, finish, and stopping-off points; enter options such as the start and end times of your driving day; click the calculate button; and the program generates a map and itinerary, including overnight stopping points. By clicking a stopping point and then a What's Nearby button, you can call up a list of hotels, restaurants, and attractions within a specified radius. To add a stop manually, you can type it in or click the highlighted route and drag it to a stopping point; the app automatically makes changes as needed.Also new: Multiple printing options, some map styles, and expanded listings from old and new content partners like Zagat Survey and Moon Travel Handbooks. Web-linked services include route information updates and thousands of links to other travel sources.For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
