«The best version ever»
I have used S&T since 2005, purchasing each new version. I use it mainly while traveling. After purchasing a new laptop with Vista I discovered that my old moble GPS receiver did not have a driver for Vista. I was using S&T 2007 already and didn't want to buy 2008 because it will only allow use on one PC (requires MS registration). By purchasing this slightly used 2007 version with a new GPS receiver I avoided buying 2008. In general the 2007 version is pretty accurate and the new GPS Locator is much faster than my old version. I would love to own the 2009 version but I need to be able to plan a trip on my home PC and then move it to a laptop for travel. Apparently the 2009 version requires you to purchase two copies in order to use the transfer feature. I may eventually buy 2009, install it on my laptop and then use the old version on my home pc to create the trip and let the 2009 version upgrade the trip on the laptop.

«No AI built in»
First off, this is a good prduct and works though I had to use the cable to get the GPS to work, just plugging into the USB did not work inside 2 different cars. The problem I have with this program is that they have not done what is totally obvious in my mind: User puts in home address and when searching by just street name, the street name in the town that person is in is first, then that streets within that state, etc. As it is now, you put a street name in and you get that street in Arizona even though I have never made a search in Arizona. I use the program to invest in real estate so I put in a lot of destinations in a confined geographical area. When the program doesn't "learn" that I am aways searching the Toledo, Ohio area and use that as a proximity sort on searches and the program does not give the option of having a "home" to use as a reference, the function of the product is unnecessarily frustrating.

«Works much better than 2008 & 2006 »
Previously used 2006 as navigation in my work van and when the gps receiver broke, I decided to upgrade to 2008 Streets & Trips despite the poor reviews here. The 2008 did not work properly and needed to be restarted continually, so I replaced it with 2007, which works great. No problems or complaints since.
