Hey, Larry, I wondered what you thought of it once you got out on the road. I have come to rely on it and even throw the laptop in the back of the truck cab when we go "exploring", just in case I need it to guide us home. That has happened a couple of times when we get out on some of those backroads.
I have both Streets and Trips and Street Atlas. I used SA for many years because of the voice prompts even though I liked S&T's interface and route planning better. When S&T came out with the voice prompts in the 2006 version I made the switch and haven't looked back. There still are some things i like better about SA. S&T lists more campgrounds but SA is far better at finding businesses. S&T doesn't list but a fraction of the business while SA has most of them. So I keep both SA and S&T on my laptop. S&T is easier to learn. SA is more powerful, in my estimation. S&T meets my routing needs better, however, and has far fewer anomalies in its maps. S&T does have some, though.
Both are good choices, as Bill said. Depends on your wants and needs.
