S&T Keys for Streets & Trips 2009 Comments And Questions

I am more interested about finding bugs in the 2009 version (the actual current version) if you found some...

2009 on 4 sys, only problem was the file opening one. As I said these are used by RV troops, not to much rving in 0 deg weather of New England. Not many functions are used if not using S&T as primary nav program. If I help someone instal I only check a few basic functions. I have laptops in my car and my MH.

Is there a way to import favorites from address book to S&T Keys?
I use laptop everyday as a delivery driver and we do go to many places over and over as we deliver.

Just take a look at the S&T Keys documentation in section "4.1 Favorite Destinations File Format" in first post of the thread,

So...
I had v 2.53.7, which puts a little laptop icon in your quick launch bar.

I installed v 2.54, which put the familiar little "K" on the bar.

HOWEVER, for some reason, the 2.54 "disapears" and my computer reverts back to the older version. No more little blue K, and the laptop back with the old version#.

What on earth is going on?!?

Fyi...
I re-installed 2.54, everything looked fine, then re-booted computer & back it went to 2.53.7!

Anyone?...Anyone?
Bueller?...Bueller?

Try to delete 2.53.7 file from your computer.

That worked! got my familiar little blue & gold 'K" back! Thx!

I was wondering since I am new and have not used Streets and trips before and also I just got my first laptop. How can I copy this file so that it goes to my desktop.That way when I need to reference it, it probab;y would be easier than trying to put the file in the S&T Folder. If I am wrong please let me know. IF I need to copy the folder to desk top can I just cut and paste the file. If so do I need to add all the options or only the one I might use like the touch screen or pop up screen. Thank you for all your hard work. jd

Judy, yes, just copy & paste the one file to your desktop location. I have also always kept mine on the desktop.

Thanks Marvin for the help...

I think i missed that issue

I'm going to Europe soon and I plan to try AutoRoute. Will S&T hotkeys for Streets and Trips work with AutoRoute also, or do I need to download a different software?

Claude, S&T Keys 2007 would work with both, AutoRoute 2007 and Streets & Trips 2007. If your Streets & Trips version is newer, e.i. S&T 2009, then you will need S&T Keys 2009. You will most likely need two versions of keys.exe.

Claude,

I am not sure if 2 versions of keys can live at the same time on the same computer without issues because they will both use the same configuration files keys.ini. There were no tests made to support many differents version at the same time.

It may work, but i suggest you to backup your keys.ini file before switching from one version of keys to the other...

Keys may start the wrong version of S&T if there are more than one installed?

So take care, you are in an unexplored zone here...
