I have Streets and Trips 2013, but it is out of date and there seens to be no update available.
Is there anything similar available?

BaseCamp isn't that bad, the worst thing about it is the fact the smaller roads disappear when you zoom out. Planning a route is very easy, and you can get the latest maps. I don't like it near as well as Delorme Street Atlas, but sometimes you just have to settle.

Base Camp has a very steep learning curve and is NOT very user friendly in my opinion. And I work with GPS and mapping software a lot. Chuck

You may want to take a look at Garmin BaseCamp - it's FREE.

http://www.garmin.com/en-US/shop/downloads/basecamp

The BaseCamp software download is small - only 105 Mb. and installs easily on your PC (or MAC). However, it uses the map base stored in your Garmin GPS (or until you download a map update for your Garmin GPS). My last map base update for my RV-660LMT was 6.5 GB and took several hours to download over my slow broadband. Also the program will complain if you don't have an internet connection when you try to find a specific POI. Garmin does have some training videos to help you get started.

Sorry but you are mistaken. I went the whole routine and it ends up with a statement that the product has been discontinued. It suggests trying Bing maps.
S&T 2013 is not available anymore. I still use my copy for every trip and find almost all the roads are still good. Some of the places have changed but not too many to make it not a useful program.

I believe most, but not all, mapping programs, GPS, etc. use Navteq as their map source.

If this were true it would also affect other companies producing map software and GPS units. Microsoft has its own mapping system called Bing Maps.

The demand for computer mapping software has dwindled in recent years. Most people are using cellphones, GPS units, and the internet for their mapping solutions.

Hi,

MS would have to pay big dollars for the maps--which are compiled by google.

How does it compare to S&T? They offer a trial version for Android but not for Windows laptop. I'm still using S&T and it's still working well. I'd hate to buy CoPilot and find out it's not near the capabilities of S&T.

The less you plan the more options you have.

I still use S&T on my home computer and laptop. I keep looking but have yet to find anything as easy to use (I don't do change well). Since we use it for vacation travel, I just print out the final trip plan. We then navigate with our Verizon phone GPS program. Along the way we search with iExit and iExit Truck. Other programs I have seen at Rallies overlay too much information. I don't want MPG, $, etc. I just like the click on a location and add it to the destination. It would be nice if it actually gave the distance between points, but I still remember my basic math, so I can subtract without too much difficulty. Please post if you ever find the perfect S&T replacement.
