This newest upgrade builds off the solid travel-planning foundation of Street Atlas USA and introduces many innovative new capabilities for desktop, laptop, and in-vehicle GPS usage. When you choose Street Atlas USA 2005, you are selecting the most detailed and powerful travel planning software available. DeLorme pioneered the category in 1991 with the first release of this product, and today this software continues to be the standard by which all others are measured.
DeLorme cartographers are constantly updating the maps using a variety of trend-setting techniques, including new GPS mapping and aerial imagery techniques developed at DeLorme. Unlike other mapping software providers, who tend to all use the same data, we invest substantial amounts in our own data collection and correction. Discover the DeLorme difference and see why everyone from travel planners to emergency services personnel relies on Street Atlas USA year after year.
Easily create automatic highway and street-level routes across country. The software quickly and accurately calculates the quickest or shortest way and provides easy-to-read text directions showing total mileage and drive times. Let the software calculate your end-of-day stops and fuel stops, including fuel costs based on information you provide. Insert VIAs to force the software to take exactly the road segments you want. Rearrange the order of your stops or simply reverse the entire route with a push of a button. Set driving speeds, types of roads to avoid, and even include new local roads that can be included in your automatic routes.
You can find everything imaginable while traveling, from the many expected items to many more not commonly found. Find places of interest by name and/or category, including restaurants, lodging, and gas stations... as well as Wal-Marts, Starbucks, post offices, fire stations, hospitals--the most complete and useful selection available. Use the GPS Radar to find the nearest places from your current GPS location--it’s amazing!
DeLorme has been driving GPS innovation for over a decade. Unlike some suppliers who simply stick a generic GPS receiver in a software box, DeLorme designs our GPS technologies from the ground up to provide the best possible in-vehicle experience. Some unique DeLorme competitive GPS advantages include:
High-contrast screen settings for enhancing in-vehicle visibility on a laptop. Now that many new laptops use high-resolution screens, this is especially important.
Related to the above, the ability to take everything you see on the map and enlarge it 200 percent without changing the map magnification levels of detail.
Automatic back-on-track settings that you control so you can determine how far off track you are willing to go before being offered new directions.
When you have a route created, the Next-Turns window shows large arrows with accompanying brief text for your next turn as well as the turn after that. For many users this is the most practical screen to use while navigating.
The large Center-on-GPS button on the main interface lets you leave your current GPS position on the map without turning off the receiver, so you can scout ahead for exit services and other amenities without the map always re-centering on your GPS position.
The GPS Radar Search finds places of interest from your current GPS position and shows directions and information for each; new in this version is a voice prompt for the one nearest you.
Not only does the software provide spoken prompts about upcoming turns and services, but you can also issue spoken commands and receive spoken responses. "Where am I", "How Far to the Next Turn", and "Map Zoom In or Out" are just a few of the included responses.
Updated maps showing all highways, local routes, borders and exits in the U.S.
Instant routing finds the fastest way to get to any destination
Powerful search engine with multile zoom levels, for close-up looks at the roads you'll travel
Millions of searchable points of interest -- from the newest restaurants to the closest gas stations
Add your own notes and recommendations to maps

For Windows [*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.
