...2007 is probably better... more up to date maps and such... but still... microsoft streets and trips 2006 with gps locator software is not old enough to be irrelevant... cnet says microsoft street and trips 2006 with gps locator is good... amazon says microsoft street and trips 2006 with gps locator is real good...and you can't find microsoft street and trips 2006 with gps locator on the comparison engines for less than $60 or $70... that means, get it if you're in the market for it... final answer... have fun getting lost.
THE More Useful Link O' The Day
