For reasons known only to them, Delorme insists on using a program format that pre-dates Windows. Because of this pig headed approach, it it an extremely hard program to learn and use. Once you do manage to learn to operate with this mess, the navigation ability is fine. Like just about all navigation programs, the navigational data base they use is slow to update when roads and routes change. The program publishers appear to have little or no interest in getting obvious errors updated or corrected. Streets and Trips also uses similar brought-in data bases and also has problems getting errors and info updated in reasonable times, but at least it's a much easier program to learn and use. We use both, but I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND Delorme. S&T is a bit of a wash.
