Map Controls
The maps can be controlled using a variety of methods,
including the traditional push-button zooming, which drills
in/out while keeping the map exactly centered. Also, holding
down the left mouse button enables you to drag and zoom,
left-to-right, across the map, and moving the mouse in the
same manner but in the opposite direction zooms out.
Find
DeLorme employs several powerful search capabilities within
the software. The first is a simple box called QuickSearch
where you type common requests including towns, cities, lat/lons,
ZIP codes, street addresses, colleges, and many more to
receive the quickest possible matches. The places-of-interest
search offers more advanced parameters and the advanced search
is used when locating exact matches requires additional
customer input.
Draw
Add MapNotes; draw your own circles, polygons, and squares;
measure the area of your draw objects - even draw in your own
roads and route on them - these are amazingly powerful draw
tools for the money.
Phone
The Phone tab along the bottom portion of the interface allows
you to create custom searches for finding either residential
or business phone numbers and locations. You can search by
yellow-page heading and find all the diesel repair shops and
then select only the ones you’d like to display on the map.
You can use the phone listings in conjunction with the XData
tab to create and save custom data files for frequent
retrieval.
Info
Right-click on the map to learn more about what’s underneath
your cursor. Lat/Lon, names of streets and bodies of water -
even local radio station information - can be viewed in this
manner. Moreover, the bottom toolbar of the software displays
a continuously updated readout of what’s underneath your
cursor.
Voice
The voice tab of the software is where you train the software
to recognize your voice for issuing routing and GPS commands
while tracking. Ask common questions such as “How far to my
next turn?” and the software answers. Microphone recommended
for optimal usage. The software also reads upcoming turn
information, including the time to turn, time to finish, and
name of the street to turn onto. New voice settings allow you
to select how far in advance of your turn you’d like to be
prompted. Voice can also be turned off if you prefer.
Netlink and Aerial Imagery
NetLink is your online link to DeLorme for free aerial imagery
now included with the Street Atlas USA 2007 versions. Select
your areas of interest and download only those grids to the
software. Toggle the imagery on and off in a single-screen
view. Add notes and draw objects to the imagery to customize
lifelike views from space.
Pocket PC, Windows Mobile 5.0, and Palm OS Compatible
Included at no extra charge is the DeLorme Handheld software,
which now includes support for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
Access the maps you want from the desktop software and
hot-sync to your PDA. Add a DeLorme Bluetooth GPS for use with
Bluetooth PDAs and navigate wire-free.
The DeLorme handheld functionality provides address-to-address
routing, spoken directions, mobile map colors to reduce
in-vehicle glare, and four million places of interest. Finding
what you need is easy using the powerful search capabilities.
Now you have powerful desktop mapping software and PDA
software all conveniently provided in one Street Atlas USA
2007 package.
Maps on iPods
Using a tool similar to how MapShare works, now you can select
the maps you want from the desktop software and send them to
your photo-capable iPod. These map images are static (e.g.,
cannot be manipulated once on the iPod) and come across in the
order you select them, same as with photos. Once on your
device, you can access the ones you need, when you need them.
Due to the small screen size of iPods, we recommend these maps
for urban walking situations where you can discretely
reference the maps you need. (Not GPS compatible.)
Ease of Use
E-Z Nav Toolbar
First introduced within the 2006 version of the software, this
handy toolbar runs along the top of the interface and offers
access to commonly needed routing and GPS options, especially
useful for in-vehicle navigation on a laptop PC with the
Earthmate GPS. New in the 2007 version -- right-click on the
top toolbar and select the various icons you want.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Set your own keyboard shortcut preferences for optimum control
when using GPS. The key-bindings function is very powerful and
advanced so you can design your ideal in-vehicle navigation
solution to your personal specifications.
Right-Click Routing
The easiest way for many to create and alter routes is to use
the right-click feature. Select the route on your map and add
new stops or vias, delete the route, all by simply
right-clicking the object of interest. You can also add your
own MapNotes or view the many pre-populated tags provided by
the software.
Routing
Create automatic routes using the quickest (time) or shortest
(distance) routes. Add VIAs to force the routing to take the
roads you prefer. Turn on one-way indicators; select major
areas to avoid; or select roads based on driving speed
preferences. Add Stops and reorganize their order and the
routing automatically recalculates. Create and manage routes
either in the Route tab or by right-clicking on the maps.
Add Local Roads to Routing
A DeLorme exclusive, this is the best way to update local
roads when new developments are planned or added between
DeLorme software releases. This tool is located within the
Draw tab and lets you draw in the road segment, connecting it
to another local road within the database. Assign a name, save
it, and when you create automatic routes, the software is
smart enough to include these new local roads in the routing
calculations and also update the directions.
Personalized Routing with Address Book
Create and save commonly-used names for places you visit
often, such as “home,” work,” or “Dad’s.” Once these names are
assigned, the routing Starts, Stops, and Finishes also display
these names making retrieval easy for repeated usage.
Customize routes using your own names and save them within MapShare for others to see -- they’ll be amazed. You can also
include up to 200 names from your address book to be
recognized using this system.
Importing XData
The XData Import Wizard is the key to viewing your own data on
the map, automatically placed. Easily import your own data
from ACT!®, Goldmine®, Excel, text files, or databases. Select
different symbols to represent the locations of your
information. Or, create your own custom symbols to use on the
map; any 24x24-pixel bitmap image can be easily added as a
draw symbol using the intuitive XSym module. Street Atlas USA
2007 Plus best matches your records with a specific address,
ZIP code, or latitude/longitude coordinate on the map. NEW
tools allow you to symbolize the level of accuracy of your
geocoded data.

Quickly and easily view the location of each record with

Map Data
Because all DeLorme map data is created, updated annually, and
owned by DeLorme, we are able to provide many features
typically reserved for expensive in-vehicle navigation
systems. Free from the license restrictions and third-party
dependencies of other publishers, we can also evaluate
customer-submitted revisions and implement these changes after
triple-checking all submissions. We currently have an enhanced
commitment with staff in place to make as many customer
revisions as possible.
Places of Interest (POI) Data
The DeLorme database contains over 4 million annually updated
places of interest across the U.S., with additional ones in
Canada, including restaurants, lodgings, gas stations, travel
services, RV stops, malls, shopping - just about everything
you could ever need on the road. The software settings let you
choose the magnification level to display the various POIs to
avoid cluttering your map views. The POIs can be accessed
using the many Find capabilities or by right-clicking on the
map and selecting places based on type and distance from map
center.
GPS Radar Search
Now you can travel with GPS and have the software find
upcoming travel services based on their location from you.
Find gas, hotels, shopping, and much more in your direction of
travel and then easily make detours to these desired stops
along the way. It’s like having your personal travel concierge
with you at all times.
Automatic Back-on-Track GPS
Using the Earthmate GPS LT-20, which turns a laptop PC into a
powerful GPS navigator, it’s possible to have the software
offer new spoken and visual directions when you stray off
course. Within the GPS tab of the Options section of the E-Z
Nav toolbar, you can select or type the off-route distances
you want to travel before the automatic recalculations kick
in. Select short distances for city travel and longer ones for
highway travel where you may exit frequently for roadside
travel services.
GPS Spoken Directions
The software can offer voice directions indicating upcoming
turns and street names. It also can be set up to respond to
your voice and answer common travel questions - a very
powerful capability for mapping software within this price
category. Several different voice types are included.
Printing & Sharing
Print crisp color or black & white maps that you control to
best match what is seen on screen. Also print Travel Packages
containing strip maps and directions to bring on your trip.
Don’t want to use a lot of ink and paper? Then print just the
Turn Details which show thumbnail maps of each of the decision
points along your route.
MapShare
MapShare makes it easy to share your customized maps and
directions with family, friends, and business associates. You
create exactly the content you want and then post within our
online MapShare library, which includes private administrative
tools for you to manage. Similar to some of the better online
photo resources, MapShare allows you to provide controlled
access to your important maps without worrying about email and
spam filters.
Demos & Tutorials
Getting Started Tutorial
This tutorial provides a guided tour of the main capabilities
of the software. It is also included within the software along
with a comprehensive Help section with links to online
discussion groups where DeLorme customers can help you.
Data
Included
Street Atlas USA 2007 Plus contains the DeLorme produced and
managed United States and now also Canadian street-level
network. The included 4 million U.S. places of interest (POIs)
are updated annually based on phone book information and
DeLorme’s own research into exit services. Canadian POIs are
also included, many with phone numbers. When you factor in the 120
million included phone listings for the U.S. and Canada, you have
one of the most extensive POI databases available anywhere. Street
Atlas USA 2007 Plus DVD allows you to import your own data from
text, Excel, Outlook, and other sources. It does not, however, allow
3rd-party supplementary data to be imported.
