- REVIEW: CD-ROM - TRAVEL PLANNER CD Expert Software
-
- Here's another of those neat road-trip planners I've been looking at
- lately - and with a pleasant surprise! It does all kinds of neat things
- and the priced at just under $20.00 - more than half the cost of the
- competition.
-
- The TRAVEL PLANNER CD plans your trip in seconds, offering you a choice
- of shortest, quickest, preferred, scenic or optimized routings using a
- database containing 147,000 cities and 575,000 miles of roads in the
- U.S., Canada and Mexico. Once the route is selected TRAVEL PLANNER
- prints the itinerary and color maps to take along on your trip.
-
- TRAVEL PLANNER CD offers plenty of multimedia features too - like narrated
- slide shows that preview over 100 destinations, videos, audio help,
- descriptions and information on state and city points of interest.
- In addition there's some information on tourist needs like car rental,
- hotels, airlines and travel tips.
-
- To run Expert Software's TRAVEL PLANNER CD you'll need a 486SX or higher
- computer with 4MB of RAM, 5MB of hard drive space, MicroSoft Windows 3.1,
- VGA/SVGA, a mouse, a MPC2 compatible CD-ROM drive and as an option, a
- sound card.
-
- Quite frankly I'm impressed with this package, mainly in that it offers
- plenty of bang for the buck - lots of great features many of which are
- missing from the higher priced travel planners. At $19.95 it should please
- just about everyone.
