- Can't view the maps
I originally purchased Streets and Trips 2008, hoping for pocket pc availability, but there was none.So I purchased Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005, thinking I could use it as a base from which to download newer maps.However, on downloading to my Dell Axim 30, a message appeared that because the software was created for an older version of Windows Mobile it may not display correctly.Understatement!I can't view any maps, which makes this product of no value for my purposes.I was not aware ...

- The best for Downtown
I have had this product for a while, and it helps me in the downtown, its not much usefull for driving directions. But when you visit a bigcity for the firsttime and planing on walking a bit, and finding the place on ur self then this would help you a lot.
Rating: - Pocket Streets great help to Fire/EMS personnel!
We use Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005 in our duties as fire & EMS workers.
Although we know our districts pretty well, due to recent growth and expansion resulting in more and more streets to keep up with, it's nice to have Pocket Streets on our pocket PC's so we can quickly look up an address.Pocket Streets works great on my Ipaq.
Rating: - DON'T BUY!WASTE OF MONEY!
This is a complete joke.The only cities that are in the program for U.S. states are major metro areas. If you have a handheld (either regular or mobile phone) you more than likely also have WiFi or GPRS internet connection.And if you are in a major metro area, with a WiFi connection, why would you need a program for maps?Just go to Yahoo Maps or Mapquest.If you don't have a WiFi, then just buy a paper map...it will do the same thing (maybe even more!) than this program.
