So now that Microsoft is discontinuing Streets and Trips, what are people switching to?
I've used S&T for years to pre-plan my travels on my laptop and hate to hear the news that MS is dropping it like they've done with so many other products.
I used Street Atlas years ago and thought it lacked intuitiveness, had a steep learning curve and even though I purchased their so called updated maps, found major road changes around me still missing after 10 years (like a 10 lane bridge over the Missouri river at St Louis and a regional airport near O'Fallon, IL)! Reading recent reviews for Street Atlas, it doesn't sound like they've improved any.
I see Co-Pilot is an option (at $100) for the PC version that I paid much less for on my phone. I'm not sure I want to spend that much without knowing how easy and intuitive it is to use on a PC.
I pretty much like all the features, ease of use and map printing capabilities of S&T and would love to find something as good or better to replace it.
