Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall, an okay product. Many people complain their street isn't shown or recent construction isn't shown, but it takes about 3 years for new mapping data to make it all the way from satellite imagery, to purchasable data for companies like Microsoft to obtain, and then into their finalized product. So, if that new road, neighborhood, etc. has been there less than 3 years, then you really cannot expect it to be in Pocket Streets.
If you purchase the full desktop version of Microsoft Streets and Trips then you're given the option to install the Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005 during installation of the full version. So, unless you ONLY want Pocket Streets, you're better off buying the full desktop version and installing it on your Pocket PC that way. Then you'll have a PC and a Pocket PC version of it and also have the ability to export maps from the full version to your Pocket version.
If you don't live in a major metropolitan area then the map of where you live will not be on the CD-ROM. You'll have to use the full desktop version of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 and export the map(s) you need.
The only change I would make to how the software works (other than the adding additional maps for those of us who don't live in major cities) is voice prompts. What's the point of having a PDA with GPS and Pocket Streets if I can't have it prompt me when to make a turn.
