Summary: A Complete Waste of Money.
Review: Don't waste our money on this software. On my Palm Tungsten T, the maps are fuzzy images. The information is not really very useful either. It also is not user friendly. This is the worst SW purchase that I have made for my Palm & I have been using one for years.

In a nutshell, this product stinks and I cannot find one good feature that is worth mentioning.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Helpful - but potentially outdated
Review: I bought this card hoping it would give me Mapquest on my Palm. It doesn't. But it does have the exits for US Interstates and can generate directions between major cities in the US. Also, the information is dated, some resturants have closed (most Gas stations appear to be correct), and I'm sure some new resturants have opened, so your milage may vary. :-)

The detail level of the maps is not great, but it supposedly matches the maps in the standard paper road map. I've not checked that out, but if it did, that would be nice. I would much rather have the detail of the paper map in my palm.

Maybe the Palm doesn't support that level of detail (possible I suppose) - but then again maybe they don't want to give that much away. Overall, I'd say it's nice, but it's not the paper map (or online Map) replacement I was hoping it would be.

Summary: Amazon should make a 1/2 star for the really really bad.
Review: Not only is it not very easy to use, it doesn't give you a visual format for point to point destination, only text directions. Then the SD went bad for a reason beyond my understanding one day when I tried to use it, and now everytime I try to calculate a point to point destination my tungsten gets a fatal error and requires a hard reset. Only with this SD program do I have this problem with my PDA. This sucks so bad that Amazon should incorporate the 1/2 star for beyond bad.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not great, but still useful
Review: The atlas isn't great for navigation, as it can't do point-to-point directions. It can get you from one city to another, however, and is also useful for calculating the distance between two cities. What makes this product worth owning is that with a simple touch on the screen, you can see what awaits you at the next exit - gas stations, restaurants, hotels, notable sites, etc...

My atlas did not work on my Treo 600, however; it caused it to reset everytime I tried to access it. It's got to be a glitch with that particular model, however, as it worked fine on my Tungsten C.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Real disappointment!
Review: This product is completely unhelpful for most driving situations. There are no turn by turn directions within a city, just info on major highways which is much easier to get from a basic map. I returned mine.
