Looks like the Microsoft is ready with its next version of the Streets & Trips. This from what we read will also address the UMPCs (Full Screen Mode), Cool.
In addition to updated data, the new version breaks new ground for trip planning and navigation software by tightly integrating online local search results with mapping and navigation capabilities. It also significantly enhances the navigation feature set with several improvements such as a āfull screen modeā? to enhance the driving experience, a better performing and sleeker hardware puck (featuring the latest SIRFIII technology), improvements to rerouting and additional navigation improvements such as drive times and reverse routing. Lastly, we made the first significant investments in tailoring the application for ultra-mobile PCs, so that as that platform begins to emerge in CY07 we have a winning offering to attach to UMPC sales.
Product Features:
- Customizable trip-planning options allow you to plan stops, scenic detours, and fuel stops, add multiple destinations, and quickly alter your route.
- Avoid potential delays with free, up-to-date road construction information from the Web.
- Navigation mode makes it easier than ever to know where you are. Estimated drive time ensures you always know how far you are from your destination.
