Taking advantage of the enhanced trip planning software is easy

customizable viewing pane, you can display turn-by-turn directions, including
street names, in large type for easy viewing, and large, easy-to-see arrows that
indicate the direction of your next turn. The pane displays the distance to your
destination in miles or yards, and for a quick "at-a-glance" view, a
thermometer-style bar shows the relative distance you've travelled. To create a
route and generate directions, you simply type in the starting and ending
locations and click on "Get Directions." It's that simple. Your trips can

With the GPS receiver plugged into your laptop, you'll always know exactly
where you are. The GPS panel shows your current latitude/longitude, direction of
travel, current speed, and GPS signal strength. This is also the control panel
for arranging and customizing the map display, and you can even create a "bread
crumb" GPS trail, making your return trip a breeze. Voice-prompted directions
announce upcoming turns with precise instructions, such as, "In one point two
miles, turn left on Andover Street." If you drive past your planned exit, the
software will tell you immediately that you're off track. A single click will
get you back on track. The "Re-route from Here" feature quickly recalculates
directions if you miss a turn.
To find a certain point of interest, such as restaurants or gas stations, you simply select
from 35 POI types to display on the map. You have the option of searching within
a certain radius of an address that you choose, your current location, a
specific direction within a planned route, or all of the POIs along the entire
route. Your results are displayed in a directory-tree listing. When you click on
a POI, a balloon box pops up on the map with detailed information, including an
address and phone number, and if you right-click on the POI icon, you can add it
to your route list.
