This program has one of the worst user interfaces I have ever seen. There are far too many options for the casual user. To make matters even worse, there are options to show or hide other options. This is what happens when "feature creep" gets out of hand or when product development is driven by the sales department. I'm going to return it to Delorme and find something else or keep it as a reminder of just how bad a program can be. |

Useless on handheld. Slightly better on UMPC/Notebook |
I wish I had read the reviews on Americancivilwar before purchasing this product. I found it to be absolutely useless on a handheld device. DeLorme claim that it can be used on a Windows Mobile Pocket PC but fails to mention that you it doesn't work well as navigation device. You have to spend hours planning routes and entering waypoints in advance to your trip. Once that's done it cannot correct your route if you decide to take a detour or if there are road closures.
To use the navigation feature on you device you must do what called 'Tracking' to a waypoint, POI or following your predefined route. But for the first several hours of attempting to use it the program would automatically shut down when hit the Start Tracking button. Once it started working it was intermittent, but that didn't matter. When navigating, the map doesn't show enough detail, no matter what zoom level, to see exactly which streets to turn on and the voice directions rarely say anything, & when it does it's volume is low and doesn't even provide useful information. You must know the street names from memory before you get to them because the device wont tell you by text or voice.
If you want Aerial or Satellite imagery you can purchase it from within the software for a $50 minimum purchase, but can't seem to figure out how to add my own.
Adding new streets is simple enough but I have trouble correcting wrong street names and incorrect POI's.
If you have an internet connection on your mobile device/smart phone you're better off with the free Google navigation software. |

Delorme Street Atlas Review |
|
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 I was very disappointed in how out of date the maps are.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. |

Sreet Atlas USA 2009 From bad to worse |
I have been buying and using Delorme software for many years starting with the first issue of Street Atlas through the latest `Street Atlas USA 2009', including all versions of the defunct `Map'N'Go', and one version of `Topo USA'.
Since Delorme changed the user interface of Street Atlas USA 3 or 4 years ago it has gone from bad to worse. While it "may" have more features than `Streets and Trips', it is some what like the American medical system that claims to be the best in the world, but what good is it if it is not accessible.
The "new" interface is so convoluted and non-intuitive that is for all practical purposes, worthless. For instance none of the menu icons have labels, so if have a task that is not familiar such as a file folder or a `floppy disc' for saving, you have to highlight each icon with the cursor to determine its function. Trip planning? Forget it! You'll be at your destination before you can work your way through their menu system. As I started writing this `review' I loaded `Street Atlas 2009' and a message popped up indicating that an upgrade was available and all I had to do was press the download button. Great, right? Well for the life of me I can't find a `download button' on their screen or in any submenu.
One of the hypes for the 2009 release was highway maps for Mexico. `Streets and Trips' had better highway maps of Mexico 2 releases ago, and now `Streets and Trips' has street level maps of Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey including a vast database of restaurants, hotels, gas stations, points of interest, etc.
`Street Atlas 2009' is probably the last DeLorme product that I will succumb to the `new version' hype.

Ripoff! |

The data (at least in my area) is from mapping data at least 10 years old. |
