Mapsource or Streets and Trips 2010

I use S&T 2010 with my Nuvi. I actually use both S&T and Mapsource to plan our trips which are typically in excess of 4K-6K miles each year.
I mainly use S & T to plan my mileage for each day. It allows me to allocate time for rest stops, gas stops, calculate distances using how I usually drive (speed time). It also gives me estimated gas costs and tells me where I should consider looking for a gas station. Then I can research gas stations in that area for pricing.

I use info from both applications in the planning.

I also use both to plan trips. As far as S&T 2010, don't. Just wait a few weeks for the 2011 version which should be out early October - if past release dates are an indicator.

One great thing about S&T is the ability to switch segments between fastest and shortest to take advantage of some scenic routes. http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/2595-poi-mega-file-pushpin-col... will give you more POI than you can use that can be laded and displayed in S&T so you can plan routes and trips between locations.

Great for planning food, fuel, and lodging.

I use Microsoft Streets & Trips 2010 for my routes and MapSource for managing my favorites and maps.

I wouldn’t pay for MapSource as you can get it for free when purchasing a new map or click on link http://tinyurl.com/3jbxog

I use both but lean towards Streets and Trips.

I have Delorme Street Atlas, Streets and Trips, and Map Souce. In my humble opinion Street atlas does a better job routing, Streets and trips does a better job for planning, and map source sort of gives me an idea of how my gps will route me. Oh I still keep paper maps just incase.

It's good to know that it would be useful and I want to thank Box Car for reminding me 2010 is now a old program. Waiting is good.
Everyone is so helpful here. Thanx

I ahve used S&T for 5 years now and will be getting the new 2011 as soon as it comes out. It is great for planning a trip, and with the ability to download poi's into it makes it even better. I still use my 660 with either two or three yr old maps and haven't had a problem yet. edit: I also have the gps puck to use thing it on my laptop.

S&T is great for route planning. But I use MapSource to transfer waypoints to the Nuvi.

One of the things I really loved about Delorme Street Atlas was the ability to "draw" my own routable roads when there was a recent road change.

It's really awesome to have a zoomed in turn by turn view and a zoomed out area map side by side on a laptop screen. Add a wireless card for the laptop and run Google, Mapquest, or anything else at the same time.

If you have a copilot to run the laptop on road trips, a handheld GPS can't compare in terms of features and controls.

Convenience, ease of use.... Well, that's why a Nuvi is on my dash instead of a laptop on my copilots lap.
