MS Launches Streets & Trips 2008 with USB GPS & MSN Direct

It seems like it was just a few months ago that we checked out Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007 with the GPS locator. Microsoft has launched a new and updated version called Streets & Trips 2008. You can still get the new 2008 version with the GPS locator included, as software alone or with a new MSN Direct device.

The MSN Direct device provides traffic updates, construction and accident information to help you avoid delays in your commute. It additionally provides gas prices and station locations in your area for price comparison. Neither of these two features requires a web connection as Direct receives real-time info from FM.

The 2008 version also features auto re-routing if you miss a turn and a perspective map view that gives a display similar to what you see through your windshield. The MSRP for the version with MSN Direct is$179.99 and it is available now.
