Selected User Reviews For Delorme Street Atlas USA 2007 Plus DVD
My 2006 is out of warranty and I thought I'd upgrade to the 2012. There is certainly a lot more to learn about how to use it. Why they chose not to add the road changes to the old format remains unclear to me.
This is described in detail.
The Delorme app has been part of my everyday life for over six There are issues with not only the program, but also their customer service team. Here's the gistThe program may give you points of entry onto a road when they are not needed (e. To get back on the highway you have to take a loop around the highway and return to it). In addition, the program often takes a very long time to start. It may also advertise routes that do not exist.
The roads are outdated and/or incorrectly identified even if you update This feature only works 60 to 70% of the time. You cannot hear the driving instructions when you are driving (you will need to close the windows and get everyone in the car to be quiet). I have never been able to get the option for speaking to the program to work properly (I've never succeeded at it). Make sure that Bluetooth GPSs are used with extreme caution. A couple of years ago, I bought a blue logger and it hasn't moved out of its case since then. only works when it wants to (which is much like some of my employees) and when it does it loses I reached out to customer service three days later, but no response came (though I did receive a call). It was recommended that I remove the battery of the GPS in order to reset it. Did you check it out? If so, how did it turn out? There is nothing! Last but not least, the PDA option is a total Uploading the map to the PDA will take a long time, and using it is extremely difficult. If you're trying to enter the address location of a destination, don't even think about using a PDA. There is no point in wasting time and energy on it. Honestly, I buy the software product because of the price and my field of work, and not because I would rather spend more money on something else. PLEASE don't buy any of their GPS accessories (I repeat DON'T). Rather than using less reliable companies, go with more reliable ones. No hardware from them has ever been purchased by me and I will never buy any from them.
My previous version of Street Atlas was 2003. Compared to the old one, the new one has even worse The distance from Page, AZ to Ann Arbor, MI is 124 miles. Although I set my preferences to Freeway, this new version routes me to a 4 wheel drive road (for over 50 miles). No way to exclude Canada can be found. The rephrased version A visa is required for entry into the United States. The border crossing cannot be done without a passport (and soon will require it), the speed limit in Canada is 62 MPH and the fuel, especially Premium, is outrageously expensive, so I don't want to go there when I am trying to drive Some roads and countries should be excluded and included according to the needs. It is not advised to use dirt roads for routing (except if the shortest possible). I recently took a road trip of 8400 miles. I am 64 years old. I had a difficult time forcing the program to route me through the desired route. GPS is an option I use with it, and most of the time, it works fine, but it snaffles back when you try to look ahead or to see alternative routes while driving, which is extremely irritating.
Using this program is difficult because of the steep learning curve and the slow and cumbersome interface. It comes with a convoluted process for launching the application on a PDA, and since the maps are inaccurate, it makes for a bad purchase. In order to return it back to the company, I am trying to do so. For software that has been opened, Amazon only gives a 50% refund. ***Installation ***Completion The installation of software onto the PDA is a separate process that is not explained anywhere but the Delorme website. Once you load the software, there is no manual, just a small tutorial to guide you through it. The pda loads 3 kinds of maps when you try to load maps (for instance, a road map, satellite map, It will create a large amount of data which will never be uploaded. It is possible to load the road map only, which makes loading In each state, the map is divided into segments, and you must select each segment that you wish to see. If you want to upload the maps to your PDA, all the options must be loaded in advance, such as If you need rerouting, you want it 100 or 200 feet. There are options for male or female voices depending on what your POI is. There's a lot more to it. There's also the matter of the maps not being an OEM MS Streets and Trips 2004 CD, and the maps on this CD are very similar to those on that CD. The North End of Boston is at least one of them. The following uses I have found that it is most convenient to connect to the bluetooth receiver (OnCourse) when you are not moving, the maps are already loaded on the PDA, and the bluetooth is already turned It took quite a while even then (sometimes up to a few minutes). One of the worst parts of the process was calculating the route. There aren't many streets that will be found with the "find" feature unless you have loaded all the options. Quite a bit of time was spent learning how the navigation feature is called "tracking" in the program. There was a risk involved in rerouting. It would be great if the POIs were updated. A restaurant and a business are all a gitme. I am not certain of the features included or if there are any in our area. For example, we have a huge cinema complex near us. The logging of xdata is enabled. i. e. , etc. I haven't used it much, but already feel like I'm a bit In order for me to receive a refund, Delorme must reimburse me. Although I am not sure if my PDA (Ipaq 4155) is slow enough for this software. In addition, if you wish to use it on a laptop, MS Street and Trip 2007 is a much more reasonably priced option. Would it not be better if it was even more up to.
Business travel is often part of my life. There are at least 3 years old phone book listings in the phone book. There are some maps that could be updated, but for the most part, the maps are good. This is what I can do with Maps are available online, and they have more current In order to ensure the latest information is available, I regularly check for updates. There is a problem with the GPS. My current position has been displayed by the GPS more than half a mile away from my true position on more than one occasion. It was at a time when it had a "good fix". In addition, the auto-repair does not work It can be frustrating at times to have routing push you around. There was one instance in which the route directed me to get on a toll road that ran parallel to the road I was Over ten attempts were made to reroute the auto route Provide me with a route that is "correct".
