Title: Bad route decision
Review: Planning for a trip that passes LA on the way to Hearst Castle. Microsoft Streets and Trips comes up with a route that is 471 miles. Yahoo maps came out with a route that is 269 miles. That's more than 200 miles extra with Microsoft. Conclusion? It is useful for planning trips only if (1) you already know roughly the route you need to take, and (2) you use the software to find nearby places on your route for hotel, restaurant, etc. Now I am reading the help file to see if I can force it to go with the route I want.
Is the review positive or negative?
