RE: Does anyone use the GPS set up that you can get with MS Streets & Trips? Yes, I have S&T and have used the hell out of it for several years. And I do have the GPS module for it and that works great also. BUT I DO NOT try to use it for on the road navigation. I have tried it that way and find it just plain dangerous if traveling alone. It works fine if you have a 'navigator' on board, someone in the passenger seat to use it. I suppose that with the right laptop and the right mount it could be used, if careful, while on the road, I know some do. I find S&T great for trip planning and the map files seem to be complete and the POI files okay. |
