December 25, 2011Very thorough,
Street Atlas USA 2011 is a very thorough map program, perhaps too much so. It started out as a map but has grown over the years to offer way more features than I’ll ever use. Still, I like it and I think it is a good value for the money.
I first became acquainted with Street Atlas USA at a computer trade show quite a few years ago. They were giving a demonstration of the software and asking people from the audience to give them an address which they would then bring up on a large screen. People were giving addresses in places like Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles and predictably they had all those streets in their map. Well, of course. They all have large public works departments and I assume the company was able to obtain good data from those cities. Well, there’s always one joker in the deck and I live in a very rural county – not even in a city. I got a chance to put in my address and was immensly surprised and impressed when they showed not only my street but my driveway which is a private road serving three properties! At that point I had to buy a copy of the software and I’ve never regretted it. I use it for all sorts of research, trip planning, genealogy, etc.
On the negative side, its listing of businesses such as motels is rather hit and miss. I recently wanted to locate a motel in Bandon, Oregon and it showed very few of the many motels there. I tried routing a trip with it once and it tried to route me on a dirt logging road over some mountains! I have not attempted to use it with a GPS equipped laptop. I was also disappointed in their corporate attitude towards using maps generated by the software. I wanted to use some small sections in a genealogy book I was writing but they were unwilling to permit such use even when I offered to pay for the rights.
Definitely some areas for improvement but I have found little or nothing to complain about in the basic mapping information. Since I don’t use it’s advanced features very much, I’m quite happy with the product.
