Rather than have all the RVers download and import height restrictions into Streets & Trips we've saved you all the work. Download the S&T 2010 POI megafile from here: http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/2595-poi-mega-file-pushpin-collections-truckers-rvers-other-travelers It contains ALL the collections from DiscoveryOwners plus dozens more.

At first look I have to say it is impressive, especially on the route planning side. They advertise that you can load height restrictions into the program, but they don't say how to do it. Cannot find anything related to that in the Help or How To sections. We drive a motorhome and prefer to get off the Interstates and onto major secondary roads when possilbe. Does anyone know how to input the height restrictions? Thanks Ken C We heard so many positive things about Streets and Trips we just purchased the 2010 version.

You should contact MicroSoft in this regard. Vista seems to have issues with quite a few programs, this may well be another. Hence the new Window7. Thanks for your input. Gary, Good Question.

However, we just bought a new computer with Vista 64 bit and are unable to install the program. Will this software not work with this new operating system?

I bought the 2008 version, but discarded it and went back to the 2001 because the 2008 version would not let me program slow enough for the speed limit in California when towing a trailer or car.

I have sent my comment to MS about a couple of errors since 2002. When I put in my address I can assure them I don't live there. They apparently don't car about accuracy. Just send the money.

Great in unknown country and you need to find tonight's campsite and the distance to it laptop and Trailer Life side-by-side. Plot the afternoon trip while having lunch. just got 2008, works great. Anyone got a new 2008 dingy car list? Laurie Been using MS Streets & Trips for years, never RV without it and don’t have a GPS (already been there).
