It works and is much less expensive than a handheld. Using it on a netbook with extended battery life makes it a very useful tool.

I have used my PC for active routing with another company for a number of years. This looked like a nice upgrade from a good name in the business. Not so. The gps is probably fine, but the mapping program is limited in use and very basic. Not a good product in my estimation.

A great product. I use it on a 10 inch laptop and the only thing wrong is the size of the vehicle icon. I use the motorbike icon as it is the smallest but it is still too big. Does not have a bulk delete of waypoints, so you have to delete them five or six at a time. Everything else is great. Just like a gps but you have the use of the computer as well.

This product is the perfect solution for a budget. You already have a laptop and would like a GPS but don’t want to spend a fortune…this is the one for you. The ease of use is outstanding. A laptop provides a great view, no small GPS screen. The only drawback some might experience is finding a place for the setup to sit in your vehicle. Overcome that and you will be completely satisfied. Happy trails!

Garmin makes excellent GPS systems for your auto. I have used one for several years, however, the Garmin Mobile PC software is not what I expected. Insallation wasn’t too bad but not as easy as Microsoft Streets and Trips 2009. The Garmin software operates much like the Garmin 360 in my auto and is primarily designed for providing driving information as you travel down the street. If you need to route out a trip, look at details and play “what if scenarios” it will not do it. In my opinion most people would be better off applying the Garmin software cost to a handheld Garmin. They are much more portable and usable. The GPS receiver that comes with the Garmin software does not work as well as their handheld units. On the other hand the Streets and Trips loaded on a PC makes it easy to route a trip and modify it as needed. It can be used to plan trips,even without a GPS reciever connected. I have removed the Garmin Mobile PC software from my computer and have purchased the Micorsoft product.
