found easily.

Summary: Got it all
Comment: I put 100+ miles a day on my truck, working with home builders. Many in new subdivisions. I stay on course going to meetings at new addresses, and can draw in the new streets in the new subdivisions. Outstanding program. I buy the new revision every year. My 12" laptop is part of my front seat, with this program running.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Save your money
Comment: 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.

Summary: Useless on handheld. Slightly better on UMPC/Notebook
Comment: I wish I had read the reviews on Amazon 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.

Summary: Delorme Street Atlas Review
Comment: 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.
