Of course it is becoming more & more out-dated, but (to my knowledge & in my opinion) it is still the best off-line map program.

Re: MS Streets and Trips 2013
I had one customer who used ArcGIS, and got the maps from several different county offices, in the areas where he was buying timber. Each county's maps worked a bit differently, and as far as I saw, the program was powerful, but somewhat difficult to set up & use. (It also had a lot more information, and of a different type, than S&T. For instance, you could bring up detailed land ownership information.) Maybe this was a different type of mapping than you are referring to. This was already some years ago, and he is no longer in that business, and I suspect this was very much a developing field at that time.Josh wrote:ArcGIS isn't free is it?

I know this doesn't answer your question of where to get S&T 2013, but if this is for a Windows 10 install have you tried their integrated maps app? There is an option to download maps for offline use.

I need ST to run a database based on ST.

There are older copies on e bay. However most of them will not run on any system newer than XP. Newer ones are a bit pricey.Ernie wrote:I need ST to run a database based on ST.
The discussion above largely is about a way forward. Sooner or later, S&T will become unusable. With the security problems of XP that day may arrive sooner than we all think.

Re: MS Streets and Trips 2013
Running XP in a VM like VirtualBox is a viable solution. The VM isn't Internet connected.
It is a huge pain to do things like cut and paste though.

Re: MS Streets and Trips 2013
I assume you mean where to get the license code. (The program itself may still be on MS download sites. If not, let me know, & I can send a disk to you.) As far as the code itself is concerned, I just reuse the same one over & over. Do you have the program already, and just need more copies?Ernie wrote:So how can I get it.Neto wrote:I wouldn't either, and although I don't use it myself, I do install it for free for my customers.

I have never done business w/ this company, but found this in a search:

I don't have a Win 10 box, by the way, so I don't know if it will work in that environment. (Still in Win 7, the REAL WINner, in my opinion.)
