Best Street Navigation software

Sep 24, 2007 3:49AM PDT

My parents just got a new HP 6500t with vista(today). They are planning a long road trip and they want to be able to use the new laptop to do most of the trip planning. What do you guys think of MS streets & trips 08' Vs. Garmin GPS 18 Deluxe? Are there any other programs I should look at?

Thanks in advance

Not a bad package. I picked up Delorme's package since I had a PDA that was supported. Wow, what a trip in the way back machine. Unless you liked DOS and programs from that era don't look at that one.
