"Microsoft Corp. today announced the availability of Microsoft� Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator, the latest version of the best-selling mapping and travel planning software for the United States and Canada. Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator introduces Voice-Prompted Directions, a hands-free option that reassures travelers with turn-by-turn directional information so everyone in the car can enjoy the ride without the stress of getting lost. For running errands around town, taking a family road trip, finding the way around a new city or planning a day of business meetings, Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator offers easy-to-use tools to plan personalized trips and travel with confidence."The all new Streets & Trips 2006 offers a number of new features like: Voice-Prompted Directions, a Driving Guidance Pane, a new Dynamic Turn View, Night Map Style, and Locate Me technology which aims to help travelers who might not have their GPS unit, find their way back on course using WiFi hotspots to estimate their location. I'm looking forward to the upgrade. I've always like Streets & Trips, but I was getting a little frustrated with the lack of features.
