Customer Reviews:

Best I have Tried Yet [Posted on 2005-08-11]
This is a big improvement over previous versions of this software. The back on track feature works great, if you take a wrong turn the software automatically calculates a new route to get you back on track. Much, much better than Microsoft Streets and Trips in the GPS and navigation areas.

Not for non-English users [Posted on 2005-09-16]
Street Atlas 2004 has a problem that if the version of Windows is not English or if the user sets languages other than English as their default language set on US version of Windows, SA 2004 does not work at all. So, I have to change the language setting of my US version of Windows XP and reboot the computer every time that I need to run SA 2005. It was so cumbersome and I wished that this problem is fixed in SA 2005. However, SA 2005 has the same problem and it seems like DeLorme does not care about this problem at all.

If you are a user who uses different language setting on Windows, you should try Microsoft Streets & Trips instead of SA 2005. SA 2005 has better GPS capability than MS S & T, however, my choice is S & T for this reason.

I gave 2 stars because it does a job sometimes when I don't mind rebooting my computer and giving up other jobs that need asian language support. I do this once or twice a year.

Works great with win2K and my Holux GPS [Posted on 2005-09-22]

I finally decided to buy myself a new toy, a GPS unit. At first I was a little worried when I used the GPSViewer software that came with the GPS, as the software would crash... Calling tech support informed me tht you NEED GPS mapping software. So I bought Deloreme 2005 and its great. As a beginner to GPS, I have zero complaints about this Software. Highly recommended.

Outside Salesman uses it every day [Posted on 2005-12-07]
Street Atlas just keeps getting better. I can go from anywhere, but usually from home, to a place I've never been to using the directions(fastest, shortest or scenic). I'll know the mileage and have a good estimate of the time. I can locate other places I may need anywhere along the way (meals, gas, repairs, Hotels etc.). I find it much faster and more intuitive than any of its competition.
We also find it helpful finding hiking trails/points of interest, and areas set aside for recreation on weekends. The ability to print out a travel package is helpful for when I am not using a PC.

Nice Software [Posted on 2007-04-07]
I use this software to map out a garage sale route. It is simple and basic and allows me to flag each address on the route. Some of the features I could use in the future for a trip or something, but right now it's garage sales.
