How does it work?

Step 2.  Double-click on the downloaded Streets2011_POI_MegaFile.Jan.stt and S&T will open with the POI Megafile loaded.
Step 3. Plan a trip and save the file with a new name (eg. WinterTrip-SouthernCal.est)

Posted on September 20, 2011 by

You can imagine how pleased we were to find out that Santa uses Streets & Trips.  He came by to pay us a visit to our demo booth in Dallas last weekend.

Hello Dallas!

Posted on September 14, 2011 by

Just flew in today and got the booth setup at the Dallas Market Hall for the Southwest RV Supershow.    Looks like we scored a nice easy to find location right on the end.  I expect the booth will be busy.

For those who are able to make it you can check out the details at the SW RV Supershow website.  It is open to the public and it looks like there is a coupon that you can print out to get a discount on the entry tickets.
