Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005
Posted by marlof in "SOFTWARE" @ 04:00 AM
Marvin Hlavac has posted some news on the GpsPasSion forums that should be of interest to Streets & Trips users out there:
"August 16, 2004 will be the release date for Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005. Interestingly, on the box of my one year old 2004 version it says it includes 6.7 million miles of streets and highways. The upcoming version will only have 5.4 million miles. However we have more POI's to look forward to. There will be 550,000 Restaurants (492,000 in 2004), 90,700 Gas Stations (58,000 in 2004), 117,000 ATM's (47,000 in 2004). Microsoft will also release a version which will include a GPS unit."
So that should probably mean a newer version of Pocket Streets will be released as well and I wonder if that will bring any new functionality. What would you like to see added to Pocket Streets?
