User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star tries to be to much, is too difficult
I had been using Microsoft Streets and Trips, was working pretty well.
Got me where I wanted and easy to use.
Delorme came out with theirs has truck stops and rest areas,
I drive semi truck and this seemed a good help.
Delorme Sreet atlas is very hard to use, and if you make any mistakes in the routing you have to start over, also is very hard to find there truck stop guides when you need them. I think it was a waste of money. I will keep using Microsoft program. Is is way much better.
4 Stars Delorme Street Atlas
Bought as a gift. My brother was very pleased. He has an earlier edition of this and was ever so glad to get the new update.
May have to get this for myself at a later time.
1 Star Clunky and hard to use
I bought this to replace a GPS map kit I bought from Delorme that was not Vista compatible. Straight out of the box 2007 would not work and they forced me to pay full price for the 2008 upgrade. The software is clunky and hard to use. I would recommend Streets and Trips from Microsoft over this product.
4 Stars Worth the upgrade
We purchased this to update from Delorme 2005.The new version has larger control buttons and campground search. All for less than the cost to update our Garmen. Easy to use once you get past the learning curve.
2 Stars Not quite there
The main reason I bought the Street Atlas in addition the Topo product was for trip planning and I the feature falls short. My main gripe is with the planning end of day stops.
Street Atlas allows you to estimate your end of day point by hours or miles. But once you decide where to stop for the day, Street Atlas does not adjust the remainder of the trip, it stays with the original end of day points. Even for a trip of only a few days, the end of day points chosen by Street Atlas quickly become useless.
