Negative Positive
Title: Could be a great package, but it's typical MS.
Review: This software was written by a person living in a cubicle and maybe it performs well there. Meanwhile in the real world I've been 12000 miles in my RV with it (and also ST 2006 which had the Pharos 360 receiver) and at best it is intermittent. I bought the 2007 edition because it was advertised to have improved reception with the Pharos 500 receiver. Recently on the stretch of I-10 between San Antonio and El Paso, where there was a clear blue sky and no trees or hills to block the sky, it lost satellite signal at least a dozen times with the pharos receiver out on the roof. It's an interesting toy but not a real GPS mapping system. I would be so embarrassed if I worked at MS on this product, that I would just tell my friends "I'm in accounting". If you depend on GPS, DO NOT buy this product.
