 Delorme Map USA 2009 Usability and Capability Decline May 17, 2008
Gerald Nostrand (Plainsboro, NJ USA)
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
I purchased the 2009 version of this product to upgrade from the 2004 version. I am very disappointed in this product. It is more cluttered and has a poorer user interfaces. The geo-registration of the maps does is significantly off from the gps locations. The route planning now does work correctly since multiple routes cannot be entered and displayed, contrary to the statements in the help files. I do not know what other deficiencies I will find in this product. I will investigate if it is returnable. I will not be buying any more Delorme products.
 DeLorme 2009 Review May 9, 2008
Christine Watkins (FL USA)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
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!
Mixed feelings about Street Atlas USA 2009 May 19, 2008
Some Guy (Las Vegas, NV United States)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
The maps look pretty nice, but I'm a bit concerned about the accuracy. I live in Northwest Las Vegas, my neighborhood was built in 2004, and my entire subdivision does not appear on the map. Huh? This is the 2009 version of the program and they don't have urban streets that have existed for five years? I also looked around the map in my surrounding area and I saw several other streets were missing. In terms of accuracy, Google Maps is much better, as far as my area goes anyway.
My next gripe is that the GPS function does not work on my Windows Vista laptop. When I switch to GPS mode after a few seconds the computer crashes and I get the blue screen of death. It does, however work fine on my other laptop with Windows XP. In fairness, this could be a problem with Vista or with the GPS driver, so it's not necessarily the fault of the Street Atlas software. But so far I haven't been able to fix it.
Another thing that sort of irritates me is that when using the GPS function, the map rotates so that the direction you're heading is at the top of the screen. In other words, if you're headed north and you turn to the east, the map rotates 90 degrees counter clockwise to put east at the top of the screen. Some people might like this feature, but I find it very counter-intuitive, since I am accustomed to maps being orientated with north always at the top. If I'm heading east I want to see my path going from left to right, not from bottom to top. I'll have to explore the settings and see if I can change this.
Lastly, the price of their data downloads seems excessive. You can download satellite imagery from the DeLorme web site to lay over your maps, and my package came with a certificate for a free download of $40 worth of images. This was only enough to cover 1/4 of Las Vegas when I chose the less expensive black & white imagery (the color imagery costs up to $2 per square kilometer!). If you want to download an entire metropolitan area be prepared to shell out some big bucks. Of course, it is not necessary to download any imagery for the product to be functional and useful, but considering that Google Earth provides the whole country in color satellite images for free, it's hard to understand why DeLorme charges so much for lower quality imagery.

The data (at least in my area) is from mapping data at least 10 years old.
Sreet Atlas USA 2009 From bad to worse June 9, 2008
C. Gillepie (El Paso, TX)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
