October 06, 2005 [General] | By Edward J. R.
New version among others takes advantage of MSN Virtual Earth and uses Wi-Fi hotspots to calculate currentlocation. It is available both for Windows XP and for Microsoft Windows Mobile based Pocket PC or Smartphone.
Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator includes the following new features:
- 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.
- 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.
- Dynamic Turn View automatically zooms in to travelers’ current position, allowing them to see where they are and upcoming directional changes.
- Night Map Style enhances views of maps and directions for easy reading when consumers are traveling at night or on dark roadways.
- 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 for greater trip-planning accuracy through additional maps and aerial imagery.
