THE HP JORNADA 820 WAS THE FIRST WINDOWS CE PORTABLE COMPUTER WITH A 9 INCH COLOR
SCREEN IN 1998 THAT I USED WITH STREETS AND TRIPS AND I HAVE BEEN USING
STREETS AND TRIPS SINCE. THE 2006 VERSION HAS EVERY THING THAT I HAVE
BEEN ASKING MICROSOFT TO PUT IN TO IT FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS.

| I JUST RETURNED FROM A 1100 MILE TRIP AND I JUST HAVE TO HAVE MY MICROSOFT STREET 2006 RUNNING ALL THE TIME I AM IN ROUTE DRIVING. IT IS GREAT IN THE CITY . IT WILL DRIVE YOU RIGHT UP TO THE LOCATION YOU WANT TO GO TO AND IF IT THE FIRST TIME GOING THERE AND ITS ON A OFF STREET YOU WILL JUST LOVE THE WAY IT PERFORMS, AND IT IS A GREAT TIME SAVER. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| I PLAN MY ROUTE EVERY DAY BEFORE I LEAVE TO GO ON THE ROAD. IF I HAVE A EXTENDED DRIVING PLAN I CAN MODIFY IT BY JUST CHANGING THE ROUTE. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS MOVING THE SELECTED STOP UP TO WHERE YOU WANT TO DRIVE TO NEXT. MICROSOFT STREETS AND TRIPS THEN RECALCULATES THE TRIP PLAN AND YOU ARE READY TO GO. | ||||||||||||||||||||
 PHOTO
IS BROWN TROUT 24 LB. 10 OUNCE CAUGHT IN THE MID 1980'S IN LAKE
MICHIGAN. THIS SUMMER I WAS IN MINNESOTA, IN ROUTE BACK TO
NEBRASKA AND I RECEIVED A CALL ON MY CELL PHONE FROM A FRIEND IN SOUTH
DAKOTA. HE WAS EXCITED AS THE DUCKS AND GEESE WERE ON THEIR SOUTHWARD
WINTER MIGRATION AND HE SAID I COULD GET SOME GREAT PHOTOS. MY ANSWER
WAS I BE THERE TOMORROW. 5 MINUTES LATER A LONG TIME FRIEND CALLED FROM
HIS LAKE CABIN IN WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND WHEN HE FOUND OUT I WAS IN
HIS STATE HE INSISTED THAT I STOP AND SEE THEM. WHEN I STOPPED FOR
LUNCH I ADDED THE NEW STOP IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE NEW STOP IN MINNESOTA
AND THEN MOVED THEM UP TO WHERE I WANTED THEM AS STOPS TO MY STREETS AND
TRIPS ON MY ROUTE BACK HOME.
 STREETS
AND TRIPS RECALCULATED MY DRIVING ROUTE FROM WHERE I WAS AND I LOOKED AT
MY END DRIVING TOTAL MILES AND THE DISTANCE HAD ONLY INCREASED 127
MILES, AND I WOULD HAVE 2 GREAT VISITS WITH FRIENDS AND ENJOY TAKING
SOME PHOTOS.
I WOULD AS YOU SEE ALSO ENJOY SOME GREAT BLT'S. ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER I RECEIVED THE MINNESOTA CALL THEY CALLED AGAIN AND ADVISED THAT THEY HAD SOME GREAT BIG HOME GROWN TOMATOES AND TO STOP ON THE WAY AND GET BACON. |

| I WAS COMING UP TO THE CITY OF BRAINERD, MN. I LIKE TO SHOP AT WAL-MART SO I HAD DOWNLOADED A LIST OF STORES IN THE STATES I WOULD BE TRAVELING, SO I LOOKED UP THE ADDRESS AND DID A FIND IN MY STREETS AND TRIPS AND ADDED THE LOCATION OF THE WAL-MART AS A STOP, MOVED IT UP TO WHERE I WAS ON THE ROUTE PLANNER AND HAD IT RECALCULATE MY ROUTE AND IT SHOWED WAL-MART ONLY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS OFF THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON HEADED WESTBOUND. STREETS AND TRIPS IS THE SOFTWARE YOU CAN DEPEND ON. ITS FULL OF EASY TO USE FEATURES AND YOU KNOW IT GOOD BECAUSE I TOLD YOU SO, AND IT HAS MICROSOFT NAME ON IT. | ||||||||||||||||||||
 THAT
EVENING AS WE SAT AROUND AFTER SUPPER AND TALKED ABOUT OLD TIMES WE HAD
ENJOYED TOGETHER. MY FRIENDS ASKED ABOUT THE LITTLE BLUE THING
THAT WAS GLOWING ON MY DASH AS I HAD ARRIVED AFTER DARK THEY NOTICED IT
WHEN THEY WERE WAITING OUT AT THE FRONT DRIVE WAY TO MEET ME. I TOLD
THEM THAT IT WAS THE GPS RECEIVER THAT CONNECTED TO THE PDA OR MY LAPTOP
TO GIVE ME DIRECTIONS AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THEY WERE SO
EXCITED THAT THEY WANTED ONE ALSO. THEY LIVED CLOSE TO A WAL-MART SUPER
CENTER, SO IT WAS A SHOPPING WE WENT. WE ARRIVED BACK AT THE CABIN AND
THEY WERE EXCITED TO TRY OUT THE NEW TOY. THEY INSTALLED THE SOFTWARE,
REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND PLUGGED IN THE GPS TO THE USB PORT, OPENED
MICROSOFT STREETS AND TRIP AND BINGO THE GPS RECEIVED THE SIGNAL INSIDE
THE CABIN. THEY CLICKED ON TOOLS ON THE MENU AND SELECTED THE GPS TASK
PANEL, THEN CHECKED, START GPS TRACKING, AND CHECKED START GPS TRAIL. WE
PICKED UP THE LAPTOP AND THE GPS CONNECTED AND WALKED OUTSIDE AND AROUND
THE CABIN, THEY WERE AMAZED AS THE MAP DISPLAYED A BLUE TRAIL AS WE
WALKED AROUND THE CABIN OUTDOORS AND OUT TO THE STREET AND THEN TOOK A
DIFFERENT PATH BACK AROUND THE GARAGE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CABIN AND
IT PLOTTED OUT A FIGURE 8 OF OUR MOVEMENTS OUTSIDE AND THEN BACK TO THE
ENTRANCE TO THE CABIN FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THEY COULD NOT WAIT TO GET
OUT ON THE BOAT AND PLOT OUT THE FISHING LOCATIONS AND SAVE THE MAP FOR
ICE FISHING IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS. I WILL DO A FOLLOW UP OF THIS IN THE
WINTER OUT ON THE ICE.
