The product is great, but don't buy it if you plane to us it while you driving in a car for navigation, I have a Garmin and it works better for on the fly navigation, but the Microsoft Streets with Connected Services is great for planning trips, calculating the cost of a trip, and planing stops along the way, it has the ability to print, save or e-mail the maps, and with the GPS you can find local attraction to any address of your choosing, the connected services works well in the Las Vegas area where I live, but I am not sure how useful it will be on the open road, if your a person who likes to do a lot of planning, this product is right for you, or if you just need a great mapping software this product would be right for you also. I am overall happy with it, but if you need to just navigate you way through major cities on a day to day basis I would buy a Garmin or on of the other navigation devises.
