Delorme Street Atlas Review,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DeLorme Street Atlas USA 2009 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
I had a previous version of this and wanted to update it to get the latest road changes. I was very disappointed in how out of date the maps are. It was almost no change to the 2 year old version I already had for the area I live in. Even corrections I sent in over a year earlier were not included.

DeLorme's Unfinished, Unimpressive Symphony,
By Number 6 (Ajax, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DeLorme Street Atlas USA 2009 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
DeLorme has a lot to recommend it, and I expected terrific things from the people who created AAA Map'nGo several years ago. But the agglomeration of half-thought-out features found in Street Atlas USA 2009 (SA2009) has left me agog. Every "feature" has something to annoy.
Yes, there's maps of the entire US, Canada and Mexico, but they appear to be significantly out of date. An interchange I know was removed over twelve years ago still shows in its old location. Even with the "show 1-way streets" option (which is bizarrely un-set by default), streets in my city that have been one-way since Prohibition are happily routed the wrong way by SA2009. DeLorme does provide a "draw" function that claims to let you edit such problems, but it doesn't work on limited access highways, and you have to set one-way markers one road segment at a time. Then there's the printed maps. "Strip maps" set for 30-mile intervals use a 5-point font to label everything. Good luck using that on the road even at high noon on a sunny day. For printed mapping, I switched back to MS Streets & Trips 2007 (MSS&T). One thing SA2009 does a bit better than MSS&T is the handheld application. Before SA2009, I used Microsoft Pocket Streets (MSPS -- no longer available) to download maps to my PDA, but while MSPS was capable of GPS locating, it couldn't show a route. At least SA2009 provides the route display in addition to GPS locating, and I use that ability cautiously. Why cautiously? Well, a test run from my office to my home kept producing SA2009 warnings of "off route" because I refused to break through highway barriers, cross ravines and navigate streams suggested by the SA2009 routing. However, being able to see a mostly-correct route with a display of where I am and how long until the next turn is handy on a road trip (and cheaper than cell based updates). But I always check the route on the Web BEFORE setting out, then apply corrections to SA2009 using "route vias". Although the handheld purports to perform such routing, it's ludicrously slow (between 5 minutes for a few blocks to hours for inter-city routing), and half the time it gives up on some obscure and undocumented error. Still, SA2009 routing can be handy to find a way back to a missed exit (if you can find a place to wait 5 or 10 minutes), but little beyond that. If DeLorme finished the product that SA2009 seems designed to become, it would be a powerhouse. As it is, it's little more than an occasionally useful, but never dependable toy. With work, you can extend it to become useful, but I don't plan on buying Street Atlas USA 2010.

DeLorme 2009 Review,
By
This review is from: DeLorme Street Atlas USA 2009 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
I all ready had 2005 Delorme program and was very pleased. So far I find the 2009 version more difficult to navigate. I can not find how to get mileage comptuted for a trip up on the map itself,through the "create route" feature. I'd like to see the numbers on the map itself as the way it works on he 2005 program. And I really hope someone is reading this and maybe will respond but I doubt it!
