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. %T Travel Planner CD %I Expert Software %C Coral Gables FL %D 1994 %O CD-ROM, $19.95 %K Travel planner, roadmaps (C) 1995 Michael Crestohl Nahant Massachusetts USA mc@shore.net DISCLAIMER: I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in the success or failure of the book or materials reviewed herewith, nor have I received any compensation (other than a review copy requested by me) from anyone who has.
