Finding the shortest route between points A and B requires only a ruler, but what about the fastest, safest, or prettiest routes? Computer users with a taste for exploration will love DeLorme's AAA Map 'n' Go 6.0 software package. Create customized trips of any length and duration, choosing routes based on any of a range of criteria, including AAA accommodation ratings, up-to-date construction information pulled off the Internet, and more.
Installation is simple, and the friendly interface makes trip planning almost as fun as the big vacation itself. Once the trip is settled, you can print the maps on paper, port them to Palm OS devices, or even shuttle them along on a GPS-enhanced laptop--but keep your eyes on the road! There's no comprehensive address database, so some out-of-the-way relatives might be hard to track down unless they give exceptionally clear directions, but for the most part campgrounds, restaurants, hotels, and most urban locations are pretty easy to find.
Tracking past trips is easy and fun with the slide-show feature, which lets users develop multimedia presentations, including digital pictures. Keeping kids busy in the car is also a breeze with the activities provided on the disc and available for printing--license-plate bingo should keep the driver sane long enough to reach the next destination. AAA Map 'n' Go 6.0 will keep road trips fun, safe, and well planned, even for travelers who want to leave the computer back home.
DeLorme's AAA Map'n'Go combines 1 million miles of routable roadways in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico with the latest AAA travel research to give you detailed, intelligent trip-planning information. With up-to-date entries for over 66,000 lodgings, restaurants, and campgrounds, as well as museums, parks, fairs, and other fun things to see and do, Map'n'Go can help you plan the perfect road trip.
The dashboard welcome screen provides a comfortable place to begin exploring the many features of the program. Easy-to-follow interactive tutorials also help the new user discover the best ways to use the program. Preview and select lodgings and restaurants by type, price, and AAA Diamond Rating to match your budget and style. Select the fastest, shortest, most scenic, or customized route. Use the Via routing feature to easily select individual road segments that are exactly the way you want them. Set driving speeds, and select the types of roads you want to travel. The Tour Guide feature allows access to a multimedia display of points of interest, so you can get an advance look at the many places to visit on your trip. Additionally, the built-in DeLorme Slide Show feature accepts images from digital cameras, scanners, and digital photofinishing services, so you can save a slide show and e-mail it to family and friends. You can even add photos to your maps, a great way to remember where you've been. Families planning vacations will also love the Kids' Travel Activities--fun ideas you can print and bring along on your trip.
Once your trip is created, you can print detailed travel plans showing your route, in addition to the AAA-approved points of interest you've selected along your route. And, after you've hit the road, you can use the Earthmate GPS Receiver (available separately) to track your progress in real time on your Map'n'Go maps. Just connect Earthmate to a multimedia laptop computer and you'll always know where you are and where you need to go. It's a fun, high-tech way to stay on track as you travel. You can even hear spoken directions as you drive.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
