2.0 out of 5 stars Still not a good product., March 21, 2006
By Jerry Saperstein (Evanston, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This is the third or fourth version of Street Atlas USA Handheld I've bought. On each of the prior occasions I gave up trying to use it with a variety of PDAs. One more time I thought since DeLorme boasted of the major revision they'd made.

Not really. It is still a stinkeroo.

It installs easily to a Palm device and earlier versions installed easily to Windows CE. And it works nicely with a non-DeLorme Blutetooth GPS.

But it is useless on a PDA. Maps are shown in 2D view only and they are simply thin lines across the screen. Street names even in the optional large font size are still unreadable unless you focus intensely. The highest zoom setting still covers too much area while the lowest zoom settings result in such crowded data that your route is lost.

The second weakest feature is trying to find a location. DeLorme forces you through a convoluted procedure. And finding an address seems to take forever.

The absolute worst feature is trying to create a route on the PDA. It is frustrating, time consuming and, in my experience, almost never works.

Finally, DeLorme's map information is incorrect and doesn't seem to be updated. The 2004 version didn't note that the street I live on is one-way and it constantly routed me going the wrong way. It sill does.

Actually using the product is a nightmare. The representation of your GPS location on the Palm TX's 320 x 480 screen is so tiny as to be invisible, virtually impossible to quickly see in a moving vehicle. Not a good situation. The display does not stay centered. One moment your GPS locator is squarely in the center of the screen. The next, it is at the top of the screen. Then the bottom or the sides. There is no uniformity.

The product allows you to set waypoints in order to customize your route. You literally have to do that on the computer rather than the PDA, because the PDA maps are simply too cumbersome to work with. You can do a reverse route on the PDA. Wouldn't you expect that if you simply reverse the route you created, that the waypoints you inserted would be considered? Logic says yes; DeLorme says no. Recalculating a route took almost 15 minutes on the Palm and resulted in a hodgepodge of side streets being included. Since I didn't follow the recommended (and very strange) reverse route, the program simply stopped posting the GPS location to the map. Apparently if you aren't following a pre-determined route, you are out of luck.

I'm finished with DeLorme. Never again.

Jerry

1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE.....go with Tom Tom, December 13, 2005
By SBJ400 "SBJ400" (Mt. Laurel, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
Last year I got totally screwed over by Delorme for Handheld 2005. That was so horrible! Delorme and some other 'reviews' claimed the 2006 version was a total overhaul. It ISN'T. Delorme's Street Atlas 2006 is nice software for a PC/laptop...it just really sucks on a PDA. I don't know why everyone else under the sun has created nice GPS products for PDA's and why Delorme can't. Maybe they will get it together in the year 2020.

Some benefits have been added in this version. Honestly though, if you have a GPS unit, just go buy Tom Tom's PDA software for $150. It is accurate, detailed...gets updated and is versatile. If you don't have a GPS unit, you can buy the package deal from Tom Tom for $300. I know it is alot of money, but you won't be disappointed. It performs well, let's you create alternate routes on the fly and has no trouble connecting and maintaining a signal with a blue tooth unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price, November 9, 2005
Well, Delorme has improved a somewhat bad product into something useful. I remember back with Street Atlas for the Palm and I couldn't get it to stop crashing. Now, I've installed SA USA 2006 and notice a great speed improvement. If your files are on a storage card or on an external device, it takes a while for it to load it into main memory and will slow it down.

Put the map files you want to use into main memory and you'll see a great speed increase. The program is not without its bugs or bad features. Mapping is something that you might want to do on your PC instead of your PDA. Use the routing features for getting yourself on track or small distances instead.

Like someone else said, unlike Streets and Trips, you can create your own maps by selecting blocks on the main map. The maps are somewhat smaller than S&T. Plus, it doesn't limit the size of the map unlike S&T. Mapping and directions are very good on the PC. If it gives you a route with a street that you know is One Way or Do Not Enter on it, you can edit it and the PC will recalculate.

This program on the PC *actually* can send just a route to a PDA. Go to "Map Files" and hit Exchange. The program will copy the file to your ActiveSync directory.

You can set the Off Route distance to 500 ft or Infinite when tracking by Route. The GPS seems to be slightly off from the map at times, but not by much.

One thing that most people find annoying is that the system doesn't redraw the map until the cursor is at the edge of the screen. This can get annoying, but if you zoom out a bit and use the routing bar at the bottom to indicate when and how far the next turn is, you can get used to it.

Some map programs go for $90 that can do about what this program does, but for $35, it does what I expected from it. It's much better than Rand McNally's version (which I can't even get to calculate directions). Delorme has improved this product quite a bit (and it even mentions that it has VGA support for newer PocketPCs).

One note though. My GPS (a Deluo GPS) wouldn't work, would sometimes lock up the GPS, and the program wouldn't start. Just set the GPS option to Earthmate and it should work just fine.
