Right now I'm using Microsoft 'Streets and Trips 2004' and....well, it's alright, but....
No, no it really sucks.
I miss Google/Yahoo map features. I want to put in an address to map, zoom out to a certain level, and, say, find all the Starbucks on the map. Or Italian restaurants. Or all the bookstores.
How Yahoo maps does this is awesome.
MS Streets and Trips KINDA does it....but there is no function to update the database online. So, for example, it has ZERO Starbucks locations in Vancouver, WA despite the fact Google maps can fine TEN. It's a LITTLE more useful in Portland, where it helpfully finds TWO locations.
Which is great.
You know.
Given that the yellow pages pull up 72 Starbucks in the Portland metro area. And MS Street and Trips can find TWO of them.
Any program just a *little* bit more useful to use offline? With, say, a feature to update its database of addresses periodically?
