GeoPup&ShelpieGirl Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 (edited) I'd like to get some feedback from someone who is using DeLorme Street Atlas 2005 PLUS ($99). The plus version has addition data like correlating buisness phone numbers to positions on the map. 1) i have no relation to the company & hate undercover marketers. 2) i need accurate info to work in FL after Francis. my flight there has been delayed for now. All I need is to get the GPS position of a property based on address and/or phone number, and load the waypoint into my Garmin GPSmap 76S. I do not need driving directions. I was thinking of using EasyGPS- will that work? 3) the software has a telephone database that allows a user to get a fix (position) based on a land-line phone number for a business. I thought it included residential numbers, too, but now I see that costs $49 more = ~$150 - still not too bad if its accurate. Is this available in any other product that you use? How is the accuracy? 4) I could only find old reviews of past versions: experiences varied from poor interface to dont leave home without it. Apparently the interface is not standard windows design - but Ive used a DeLorme topo version & it was okay. How is the 2005 "plus" interface? Im one of the good guys ;-) edited to make a little more sense (?) Edited September 4, 2004 by GeoPup&ShelpieGirl Quote Link to comment
GeoPup&ShelpieGirl Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 The 2005 version must be very new - local Staples still has 2004. The DeLorme site has the 2005 "plus" version of Street Atlas. Even if you use the 2004, I like to hear your impressions. Thanks Quote Link to comment

GeoPup&ShelpieGirl Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 Right. Hmmm - perhaps a user of an older version can chime in ? Quote Link to comment
GeoPup&ShelpieGirl Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 I picked up a 2003 version of the Plus with the phone data. If anyone is interested, let me know & I'll let you know more when it arrives. Hmmm 116 million phone number ...give me a few days for testing Quote Link to comment
