Summary: Worst map software I have encountered.
Review: I agree 100% with first reviewer. I tried this software on two different notebook computers. It was full of bugs. One time it would work on a computer and the next time the data cd would try to install itself and hang up the entire computer. Some locations would show roads and some would not even show interstate-this at the same zoom level. The software also does not use standard GPS language like waypoints. The interface is not user friendy. I am a very experienced computer user, teacher and database designer. I would hate to try this software as a novice.

Summary: Don't buy it!
Review: I agree with John Bellis. Very strange and unintuitive interface. Maps not at all up to date. Customer support nonexistent (wait up to an hour and then asked if want to spend ... dollars for support). Delorme makes Microsoft seem bland when it comes to sucking more money out of users for upgrades. You might note that they are not continuing this particular software (Road Warrior) I wonder why?! Also, you can use their software with other GPS units but not their unit with other software. The people who are giving favorable reviews must work for Delorme.

Summary: Works fine for me, too
Review: I don't have any trouble with the software. I did however copy the data cd to my laptops hard drive using Virtual Drive. The only reason I gave it only 3 stars is that I think the maps do need to be updated.

Summary: Don't do it
Review: I have recently purchased this product. I must tell you, I can not sent this back fast enough. The software is a bug ridden mess. Many things don't work, I will document for you.1. The Application asks for the CD when launched. I have visited the support page and followed the support directions. They did not work. When I browsed for the cd it didn't do anything. 2. I tried to run the UTIL. datacopy application. It failed looking for the cd. When I browsed for the cd it didn't do anything it continued to ask for it. 3. Maps do not display on the screen, just a bunch of locations with no roads. 4. - This is all I can find, for now, I have given up. I am quite certain that many other things don't work either based on the deplorable record it has simply trying to install and launch it. Delorme should be ashamed releasing this product. It is very clear to me that Delorme hastily released Road Warrior to keep up with the Jones's. Quality was sacrificed to get a product to market that works on a handheld. I am a Certified Computer and Network Engineer and Know what I am doing with a system. If I can't get this to work I can only imagine the poor guy who isn't as highly trained. I have installed this 4 times on a brand new IBM 600x laptop w/196 megs of ram and 3.5 gigs of disk avail, and two times on an HP Omnibook with 96 megs ram and 1.4 gigs disk avail. The IBM runs Win 2000 Pro, and the Omnibook runs Win98 version 2.

Summary: Works great for me!
Review: I in no way share the feelings of the last reviewer. From the day I bought this product it has worked great. I have used it both on my Palm IIIx and a laptop with no problems at all. The device has helped me navigate from state to state many a times and is very reliable. I use it mostly with my Palm as carrying alone a laptop is not always easy. And thats the beauty of this. If you do own a PDA and a laptop, or maybe just one of these items, then you can use this GPS with either. I also took the recommendations of some gaget gurus from various PC magazines. It's a very good product for the price.

Review: I recently bought this software and find that yes it is very hard to use, but I was able to load it and run it with no problems. I also copied the maps to the hard drive, now its a little faster.... When using the voice nav. the voice is too low to really be useful, while driving at highway speeds and listening to the radio or talking to other in car. The maps themselves are old or inaccurate. I was able to work with it and get directions for some locations, I still need a better solution than this. I guess an Alpine Nav system is the only real solution.

Summary: Avoid it
Review: The Delorme GPS receiver works only with Delorme's software. It does not support the NEA standard. And Delorme's software is not very accurate - errors are frequent. Buy a receiver that supports more than one vendor's software so that you're not locked in.
