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. Somehow, knowing Engadget readers, we suspect this won't affect you much, but in the event that you do still use Streets & Trips, you'll continue to have support through at least July 2015. 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. Microsoft says that all AutoRoute clients will be allowed to use the app, while Streets & Trips and Microsoft MapPoint subscribers will receive support until 2015. I know that I don't need to do this on other machines that I have had. I installed Streets and Trip but when I want to load the program, I need to constantly put the original CD into the machine in order to get the program to work. And, ya know, that kind of makes sense, considering CEO Satya Nadella only yesterday posted an open letter describing Microsoft as a mobile- and cloud first company. I just got a new computer and it came with MS Suite 2006. Finally, though, the software is going the way of the floppy disk: The company has discontinued MapPoint, Streets & Trips, and AutoRoute, with users encouraged to use Bing Maps instead. Incredibly, it's lived on, even long after people stopped storing maps on CD-ROMs. It enables you to plan the perfect trip, including multiple stops, points of interest (POI) and start and stop times. In fact, the mapping platform is even older than that: It was first created by a company called NextBase in 1988, which MIcrosoft later acquired in 1994. Microsoft Streets & Trips is a program that allows you to explore the open road, generate maps and directions and find interesting stops along the way.
