Delorme mapping software

Delorme has not come out with a 2012 version of Steet Atlas USA and there is talk that 2011 may be the last year of this popular mapping software title.

Street Atlas was not that user friendly, especially for a Mac user plus Streets and Trips has gotten a lot better the last couple of years.

Benchmark lays waste to DeLorme in the states that they publish atlases.

Seemed like DeLorme had a bunch of DOS programmers on their staff that could not get out of that mode, at least to me. It worked well but only if you used it a lot as learning curve much higher than S&T.

Dedicated high end GPS units are available for less than $100 now so expect there is less demand for laptop software. Also a ton of iPhone/Droid apps out now.

I've been using Delorme for four years and it has taken us down some primrose paths but all-in-all am happy with it. Seems like the program has a BASIC or DOS problem of top-down programing but I'll keep it. I like the big computer screen sitting on the dash. With trifocals and cataracts I don't see too well so I don't need a GPS that works too well.
