Review: MSN Direct Brings Real-time Services to Your GPS

Monday July 7, 2008
Microsoft's MSN Direct service brings gas prices, weather reports, movie times, stock quotes, news headlines, traffic reports, local events, and send-to-GPS to select in-car GPS navigators in real time. MSN Direct delivers an impressive suite of services to your car via FM radio signals, and is simple to set up and use. Its "gas prices" feature gets the most attention, but its other features are useful for people who need information on the go. I road test and review the latest version of MSN Direct.
