Customer Reviews of Microsoft Streets And Trips 2006 [LB]

Really poorly implemented for a company like Microsoft
This is supposed to be the best Streets & Trips program for the PC out there but all I can say is, if it is, it's a shame. It can't save page margins for printing. Every time you open the program again and want to print 1/4" margins, it's preset to 1/2" margins all over again, as the default. <

>As far as I know, it also can't be made to save to the default directory of your choice, it always picks the place by default that it wants to save to. <

>Like Google Maps, it's wrong about 5% of the time, either not being able to find some addresses here in the Denver area, or sometimes telling you they're a couple of blocks from where they really are. In fact I wonder if both programs share the same data? They seem to make the same screw-ups that way. <

>I'd also like to be able to set default colors for the push pins but it reverts to the same hard-to-see gray every time the program opens. <

>It reminds me of Chessmaster 9000, which is said to have a world class chess engine, but was written by game programmers ( you know, the kind who write those games that used to require you to devote your entire computer to them, wouldn't install right and messed up in so many other ways ) so it wouldn't even save your place in the massive tutorials when you used them? Well that's what this program reminds me of. They put some massive data together and did pretty darn good with that ( about 95% accurate, but we wish it was 100%? ) and then programmed the basic shell like a bunch of beginner game programmers, not allowing you to save the most basic defaults that you desire to. <

>Sheesh Microsoft, you should be able to do better.
