There are rumours that this August Microsoft plans to release, in the US, Streets & Trips 2005 with a GPS receiver and Pocket PC compatibility.
Microsoft hopes this will be the all-in-one mapping solution, with 550,000 restaurants, 90,700 gas stations, 117,000 ATM locations, 7,950 golf courses linked to your points of interest, routes and driving directions.
It also has over 5.4 million miles of routable local, city, state, and highway roads in the United States and Canada—representing the 35,000+ U.S. and 700,000+ Canadian postal codes.
The UK and European maps/GPS system will follow soon. |
