1.0 out of 5 stars Maps Still Year behind the times, August 19, 2006

By	K. Woodworth (TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I broke down and bought this software after having owned the 2006 version, what a waste of money. It does not list roads that are 8 years old and has my neighborhood listed as outside the city limits, we were annexed in 1999. These maps are not as up todate are mose online maps were 3 years ago. Oh well, I might try again in three or four years.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, September 29, 2006

By	KCC (Collegeville, Pa United States) - See all my reviews

I had been a satisfied user of Street Atlas v.9 for several years, but when I needed to get a new computer last month I thought I would "upgrade" to the newest edition. To put it briefly, this software is a complete dissappointment, to the point that I may uninstall it and return to the prior edition.
For starters, Delorme has chosen to completely avoid using a typical Windows interface. No file, edit, tools, etc buttons on the header. The interface that Delorme has chosen is clumbsy and foreign, with nothing intuitive about it.
Secondly, the maps are pitiful. The house I live in now was built in 2000, yet my street isn't listed on the map. Many of the other changes that have taken place in the Philadelphia area are also not current.
Third, the software takes forever to load, and that is on a new, very fast computer.
Fourth, Delorme seems to have overburdened the software with lots of features specific to use with a laptop and GPS. I have no idea if these features are worthwhile as that is not how I use the program. I use it on my home machine to map routes and find locales. The GPS functions seem to bloat the program and make it near impossible to use for these simple tasks.
In closing, I would recommend you not waste your money on this version of Street Atlas. I'll hope that Microsoft does a better job with it's latest release of Streets and Trips. Or, I'll just work with Google Earth for free.

As an update to this review, I just purchased and installed Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007. It is much easier to use and the maps are more up to date that Street Atlas. I'll be uninstalling the Delorme product this evening.

1.0 out of 5 stars Version 9 was the last good version., September 30, 2006

By	William A. Perrow (Medford, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I drive a tractor trailer for a living. What that means is, I RELY on accurate and easy to use software to get me where I am going up to 16 hours a day without wasting time finding a destination accurately and quickly - otherwise I end up sleeping in the truck. Delorme "dropped the ball" after version 9 by butchering its user interface. Now I use a Globalsat USB GPS device with MS Streets $ Trips which is a pretty poor quality application but beats Street Atlas hands down in terms of ease of use and price. I would pay double the price for the MS application rather than use Delorme's product.
