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.
Setting up for the SW RV Supershow in Dallas, TX
Time to toss the August POI Megafile in the trash and download the new September update:
What’s new and improved (since August release)?
This is a free download and works with Microsoft Streets & Trips 2011. It will even work with the free 60 day trial version. It will not work with S&T 2010.
How does it work?
Step 1. If you know how to extract a zip file then download the smaller Streets2011_POI_MegaFile.Sept.zip version. If you don’t know what a zip file is (no worries) just download the larger Streets2011_POI_MegaFile.Sept.stt version to your desktop.
Step 2. Double-click on the downloaded Streets2011_POI_MegaFile.Sept.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. FallTrip-EastCoast.est)
Are you still using an older version of Streets & Trips? This would be a good time to upgrade to the 2011 version at Amazon. They have both Blue and Green boxes on sale.
Q: how long this sale is going on for.
A: I have no idea.
