    How good is this software? I like being able to use Map Quest and Google Earth for directions, but they only work if I happen to be on a wifi hotspot...

    Is Streets and Trips any good? How often do they update the maps? Is the GPS attachment worth the extra $100?

    I got it free with a couple computers and from what I've seen before, you should be able to buy it for near free with rebates and such. It works very well for planning road trips. It's a client side app so the interface is a whole lot better than any web based maps (IMHO).
