If I set up a route to take me to Detroit, about 20 miles from home S&T 2011 has me exit the highway and take a number of local roads and then takes me right back onto the highway that was left a little while before.

I have a somewhat similar situation where I live. I'll be taking it on a long road trip soon. Makes me wonder what other defects there are in places I haven't been to yet. The diagrams of the on ramps are correct, but S&T will not route using those ramps. S&T 2013 still will not route correctly through this interchange. The main intersection between my town's main drag has some unusual on ramps southbound to the 4 lane limited access going through town - which has been the case for 30 years. I've tried it's main competition, Street Atlas, and can easily see why S&T is the top seller in this market. As a trip planning program it's hard to beat.

I agree that you won't find a lot of people using a laptop and S&T to navigate but IMO S&T is more of a trip planning computer software program than a facility to give you a GPS in your vehicle.

Of course, since Garmin update their maps 4 times a year and S&T only once, Garmin's maps will tend to more up to date on a consistent basis. Both companies obtain their maps from Navteq so the biggest difference would be whether Microsoft's version is the same release as Garmin's. The maps should be pretty much the same for S&T as they are for your Garmin Nuvi.

Not too many people I know lug a PC around in their front seat while driving. Microsoft has also fallen behind with the times - they should have a mobile version of this for your cell or tablet for offline use, not just PC. Is this still up to date? Last time I bought Streets and Trips was in 2007 and I found the maps to be very outdated compared with Garmin Nuvis which were much better. It's just that there is no easy way to take all the individual, fully customized daily trips and merging them all back into a single continuous trip. It's not a major problem as I've got used to creating one single trip and from there creating daily trips based on the projected daily stops S&T has calculated, adjusted to my actual known start and stop preferences for each day. It becomes a lot more difficult if you start one day at 8:00 am and want to finish at 2:00 pm, then the next day at 7:00am and finish at 5:00pm, and then on the third day start at 9:00am and want to be off the road 3:00pm. I agree that if you use a constant start and stop time that may work. It shows the end of each day and the start of the nest day for the while trip. I plan all my trips with M&S and just put in the start and finish, then I add stops in between and use the 8am to 2 pm driving time. 'One day trips instead of one trip that covers multiple days.'
