23 January 2019. 3 presentation templates for industrial professionals; 18 December 2018. Prezi Awards 2018: The best presentations have arrived. Dec 13, 2011 - Streets and Trips is a Home & Education software developed by Microsoft Corporation. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be.
We are a volume licensing site that has just purchased several licenses of Streets and trips 2011 to upgrade from 2009 version. But one of the test users has experienced the following issue during installation.I downloaded the new version and kept the box checked to keep previous versions.now that I have downloaded the new version and try to open my files.it says this file was created by an older version, before you can open, your records must be matched to the updated map.click ok to update.so I click ok and it says failed to open document.so I go back to my previous version.it will let me open the file but it will not let me make a change to it.it says.this application is unable to continue running. The problem may be the result of low system resources such as memory or disk space. After I recieved this email I looked on the Streets and Trips 2011 support site to find that yes this is a known issue, but there was no fixes or suggestions to solve the problem. My question is, is there any workaround for this problem considering she didnt uninstall the previous verstion it seems there would be a way to retrieve these maps to use. Thanks, Chris Brown This is what I was trying to avoid.I have spent hours on this file and I do not want to have to start all over.PLEASE HELP.
I use Streets and Trips constantly for work. I monthly create an updated spreadsheet of addresses I have to inspect. Then with between 100 and 200 map points identified, I select a subset of them to inspect on a given trip.

S&T gives me a route with distance which I use to plan and to report mileage. Will Bing be able to do this in the future. S&T routing function is excellent. As for functionality, If all MS did was update the map data annually, I'd gladly pay for that and more than what I've been paying for annually buying the software in the past. Since I'm mostly looking at new construction, the maps are probably 25% outdated as soon as they're released, but in S&T, I can at least move the points to the nearest existing street. Personally I also use it for vacation drive routing, looking for stops of interest along the way.
Any use I've tried to make of Bing was an exercise in frustration compared to the routing capabilities of S&T. Is MS going to offer increased routing function in Bing or do I have to start shopping elsewhere?
There are a couple of options. The development API's can certainly do what your looking for but the requires writing code.
There are a number of apps for excel which use Bing Maps to do different things. In Office 2013 there are a couple of apps build into the BI versions of office called Power Maps and Power view which let you do a lot of business analysis on top of maps, but I don't believe it makes use of routes. In terms of more advance routing features, what are you looking for? There are a number of reasons for retiring the product. The main one being that Microsoft is focused on cloud based services and Streets & trips is more of an old school desktop app.
Streets and Trips will continue to work for as long as you have it installed. There just won't be any new versions released. I'll install a copy of ST and take a look at how you are doing routing. I'm sure it can be done with Bing Maps but likely requires coding today. Depending on what is required and if I get similar requests from others, I may write a blog post on how to do this.

What I like about ST is that I can import all 100-200 addresses, then select a group of points on the saved map to inspect on a given trip. Add my office as a start/end point and it routes the trip and gives me the mileage (which I get reimbursed for) I print out the overview map for my records and I'm good to go. I guess I'm just surprised they can't just leave the functionality alone since it already works better than anything else, and just update the maps periodically, then just sell map updates quarterly/annually whatever. If they could overlay ST on Bing, I'd easily pay $100 a year for that! I've bought a new ST every year for the past 10 years, mostly the week it came available.

We have been using Streets and Trips to create routes for 1 to 3 trucks, often encompassing over 100 stops per day. First we create a master route with our over-100 stops, uploading them from a csv file.
The business address is both the start and end of the route. Then we have Streets & Trips optimize the route. We take a look at the result then split it into 2 or 3 separate routes. Of course we could create a route using Bing maps and manually adding the addresses one by one (since we can't upload a csv) but this would take so much time that it is impractical.
And even after having done that I see no way to automatically generate an optimized route for all of them at once. I'm sure there are many other companies who have been making use of Streets and Trips in the same way.
