WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS EVERY DAY ASKING IF A POCKET PC VERSION AND A MOBILE PC VERSION WAS INCLUDED IN THE 2007 VERSION. THE ANSWER IS, NO! Files exported to Pocket Streets can be opened only in Pocket Streets 2006 If you want to export files from Streets & Trips 2007 to Microsoft Pocket Streets, you must use Pocket Streets 2006 to open the files. You cannot open Streets & Trips 2007 files in earlier versions of Pocket Streets. |

SNOW CAME EARLY IN DECEMBER TO THE NORTH AND CENTRAL PARTS OF MINNESOTA. IT WAS GREAT AS IN 2006 WE ONLY HAD A FEW INCHES. WITH THE GPS AND MICROSOFT STREETS AND TRIPS ONBOARD WE WERE OFF TAKING SOME SHORTCUTS TO OUR FAVORITE SNOWMOBILING SPOTS. |

 |
|||||||||||||||
| THE TRAILS AS YOU CAN SEE WERE STILL IN NEED OF ADDITIONAL SNOW. | |||||||||||||||
 |

| WE ARE CLOSE TO THUNDER LODGE, OTTERTAIL, MN. | |||||||||||||||
