2007-12-13Product does not feature route recalculation. Lets say you are driving and there is an accident in the road ahead you are forced off route, the product does NOT recalculate a new route it just alerts you "OFF ROUTE" and will not stop saying "Off Route" untill you stumble your way back on the trail!
Also the map pack is extremly hard to pick out your maps, you MUST select stuff on a county by county basis, rather than a state wide map or a region wide map.
2007-08-02It was off by a lot when I used it, mind you I only used it once to drive to work. I wasnt impressed at all though. I did use the software a lot to navigate for my wife while she was driving, so the software is great, the GPS locator that comes with it isnt worth the extra money. IMO just buy a GPS unit.
2007-05-15This product works quite well on a laptop. The user interface, like that of any of the other mapping/GPS program uses a markedly diffrent paradigm than that implemented in a standard office PC product - probably since you are faced with true 2-dimentional data while normally the data set is 1-dimesional that mimicing 2d. Where the product falls down is in transfering that data to a Palm. Yes it's possable and even easy, but if you want to move a large data set, say a corrider from Washington DC to Philadelphia with both end-point vicinities, the program will chock durring the convertion of the resultant 50+ MB. I had no problem with Wahington or Philadelphia alone, but the two, oh wow. I also had vainly hoped for turn-by-turn direction to be transfered to my Palm - not this version. The doccumentation, either inherent in the program, or by link to the vendor's website could also be more complete on how to use and/or tweak the program.
2007-03-20For the most part, I enjoy using the Street Atlas USA 2007 from Delorme. I have tried it without a GPS unit and have it on my Ipaq Pocket PC. I use a air vent holder for my pda and am able to get around with it. I bought a Holux Bluetooth GPS unit and was able to get the two to talk with each other very easily. While driving around in my four state sales terriory, this is the way to go. I like being able to create road routes and am able to find my customers much easier and with much less stress and eye strain rather than using a paper map. I also think this is much safer as I am not having to look down at a map on the seat next to me. The two peices work together well and are very responsive as my vehicle moves. There has only been one instance in a small town where the streets were unable to be found. That is why I gave it a 4. But there will be times that happens. I actualy give it a 4.5.
2007-03-09I am not as satisfied with this as I should be. I installed it on my desktop which runs windows xp, and I had to change some registry items in order to get it to run. I also have a new laptop with the new windows vista system, and it will not install on my new laptop. I was thinking perhpas I should exchange it for one that would work with the vista system, but I think the cost is too high for the newer version for the vista system.
