Just spoke to one of the managers. She was lamenting how before I arrived at this company she used to have Microsoft Streets and Trips but had to get rid of it when they didn't have a license. She said the best part of that program was how when you zoomed in on an address, it would give you the county and zip code information that they needed to take care of other requirements. She said they're using Google Maps currently and have to then go on a separate search to gain the county and zip info. So my question is this.is there another program like Streets and Trips that has that functionality that's free? Or do we just need to make a case to the CEO to buy Microsoft Streets and Trips to make our people's jobs/lives easier?

A sales rep could load up the Streets and Trips software from a CD onto their desktop or laptop, and upload a spreadsheet to build their routes, organize their territory, and optimize their schedule.

But today, salespeople have mobile devices like iPads and iPhones with them in the field. So, if they have the right tools, they can access their customer data on a map when they are on the move.
