I may try a few more times with SA, but I doubt it. It's just too hard to
get it to do what I want it to do. We'll see. The new S&T has some good
features, and if they add voice commands and full street instructions in the
next version, they can, and will, take over the bulk of the market. Another
new feature of S&T is the route color change. I like that. It's easy to see
when the turns are coming up.

What are my wishes for S&T.

Dates for travel plans. I'd like to be able to enter a start date, and have
the program keep track of the dates I will be where.

Via's vs. stops. A no brainier.

ETA, based on speed. Again, IMO, kind of a no brainier.

When I'm traveling I have 2 maps. One is the whole trip plan, like from
Clermont to AZ with stops in Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, (why
do we pronounce this Arkansaw, and we pronounce Kansas, Kansas. Shouldn't
Kansas be Kansaw?), Oklahoma, etc. I then do a daily map, starting by
entering end of trip, starting GPS and get directions from current location.
Lots of other little games I play with the maps, but hey, I'm retired and
need something to keep me occupied.
