Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator includes the following new features:

  • New! Voice-Prompted Directions work with the GPS Locator to provide an easy-to-use, hands-free option that delivers turn-by-turn directional information to the desired destination.

  • New! Driving Guidance Pane prominently displays text-prompted turn-by-turn directions, enlarged arrows indicating where to turn, and distance measurement by miles and yards as drivers get closer to the destination.

  • New! Dynamic Turn View automatically zooms in to travelers' current position, allowing them to see where they are and upcoming directional changes.

  • New! Night Map Style enhances views of maps and directions for easy reading when consumers are traveling at night or on dark roadways.

  • New! Locate Me technology helps lost travelers who don't have their GPS Locator on hand determine where they are by utilizing Wi-Fi hot spots to estimate their location to help them get back on track or find nearby points of interest. Consumers can also go online to cross-reference MSN® Virtual Earth(TM) for greater trip-planning accuracy through additional maps and aerial imagery.
