Summary: Mac-friendly GPS software
Review: Even though this is the ONLY GPS software offered for the Mac, I can't imagine any being better. Great features, incredible detail, flawless orientation (the only problem - not getting strong enough satellite signals at all times - have nothing to do with this software). And I love blistering through the program on my PowerBook while my Windows colleagues are still waiting for theirs to load. Shame on the other software companies for not including Mac software -- not that I'd ever switch from Street Atlas.

Summary: Try Route USA by Route 66 for Mac
Review: Hi everyone,
I have been looking for a travel program for my Mac and came up empty until I took the most obvious route and looked on the apple store webpage. They have a program called Route USA 2004 by Route 66. Looks like its a very good program that will work for most peoples needs. So there ya go, no more worries. Go to www.66.com

Summary: On the road with Street Atlas USA 6.0
Review: I'm on an extended genealogy research trip (1 year +). My portable mounts to a Jotto Desk in my motorhome and guides me down the freeway from location to location, telling me my exact speed (with the DeLorme GPS attached), direction and showing me what road I'm on. A boon to safe travel and to not getting lost. I plan large segments of the trip on a main map and then use other maps for more local travel. This planning is greatly aided by the Street Atlas USA 6.0 program. Once I'm in a research area, I park the motorhome and the Jotto Desk and portable computer are easily moved to my small tow vehicle. Street Atlas USA 6.0, at this point, provides VERY accurate route sellection and position information. Invaluable in fact. I've found old cemeteries using this program that the locals didn't even know were there. The program still has some weaknesses and minor glitches, but its usefulness vastly overrides those concerns... and DeLorme is known for fixing the problems that customers report. The one really bad thing is that DeLorme does NOT provide all of its products in Mac format. :-(

Summary: Extremely Disappointed
Review: This product does not offer the level of service of its competitors. For example, it does not download current road construction & detour information, nor does it offer *any* information on crucial points of interest such as restaurants, hotels, gas stations, shopping, tourist destinations, etc. Microsoft Streets & Trips, as well as other products available for Windows (*Including* Street Atlas USA for *Windows*) does offer all this & more. Also, to search for an address you must know the zip code of the address in question. (Believe it or not! Curiously this is not the case with the Windows version.) I purchased Street Atlas USA for Mac because I hoped I would be able to run a GPS mapping software package for Mac, rather than run MS Street & Trips via Virtual PC & Windows 98 (which is what I'm doing now). However, this package is so poor that I will not be using it & would return it for refund if I could. If this is the best that is available for Macintosh that doesn't say much for the platform. The Mac may be more user-friendly than Windows, but the Windows mapping software products I have used are a lot more user-friendly & intuitive than Street Atlas USA Mac. If anyone thinks this product is the best there is, I'd recommend looking at the competition. If you're using a Mac your best bet is to use Virtual PC & Windows, & load MS Street & Trips or equivalent. I definitely do not recommend this product under any circumstances!!! I'd give this product 0 stars if possible. DeLorme should be ashamed & Mac users shouldn't put up with products like Street Atlas 6.0 Mac or publishers like DeLorme.

Summary: Used to be great...
Review: This used to be a good product, but now Delorme is not offering a Mac OS X version. The product doesn't even run in classic mode. I am extremely dissappointed that they are not going to support OS X. I think they are making a HUGE mistake since this is the only map software avaiable for Mac that I could find!

Summary: Out of date
Review: This will not work on OS 9.2 or later (OS 10.x), only on OS's before 9.2 where it is very good. According to Delorme it is not & will not be supported after OS 9.1.
