Rand McNally Road Atlas

Summary: Total Garbage
Review: Avoid this at all costs! First of all, you can only navigate in a TINY window within an annoying an unnecessary "skin". The maps are not detailed at all and it's annoying to have to zoom in and out with a button click (mouse wheel doesn't work) and the detail is EXTREMELY poor. Also, it works against you by having to move around in that tiny window. Don't waste your money!!! This is [bad] and we should expect better. I wonder if the folks at Rand McNally use their own software for navigation. Probably not.

Review: Basically take Rand McNally Tripmaker and update the interface. I don't even think they updated the road database (c) says 2000 but I must admit the interface is easier to use so if you are looking for a simple city to city travel guide (place to place will only work if the place you are looking for is in one of the 83 full city guides they have in the program) that is easy to use then this is for you. If you want more map detail try Streets and Trips or Delorme Street Atlas.

Review: Shame on Rand McNally- This software is terrible. This reminds me of 1990 software. Just buy the hard copy Atlas. MapTech makes the best affordable mapping products available.

Review: This is definitely not the type of quality product I would expect from Rand-McNally. The maps it provides are not detailed, and generic in nature. It shows only main roads, etc. I expected to receive a standard Rand McNally Road Atlas of the US, just as the printed version, but transferred to CD(s). This product is all but useless. But I'll use the CD as a coaster to protect the finish on my computer desk!!
