Delorme Street Atlas or Microsoft Streets & Trips?
Which would you purchase for trip planning & mapping software, Delorme Street Atlas or Microsoft Streets & Trips? And why do you prefer one over the other? Thanks in advance for your input.

I used both for years almost alternately. The free trial of Strips and Treets is very attractive. Get to learning what it can do for you and when you get real used to it, borrow a copy of Street Alas and find out what it can do. I will not recommend one over the other, but frequently friends remark that they can't do with S&T what I do all the time with SA. If you want to use it as a navigator underway, you have to buy S&T and their GPS first, because it didn't used to work with any other one, but SA will work with almost any out there, so it can use what comes with S&T.
The data bases of both are poor at best. SA does correct theirs if they get the information, but someone has to tell them what they can't see from the coast of Maine, they just don't know about. S&T is just as bad, both will route you down roads that are not someplace you should not take an RV.
The data base in a smartphone is better, but they can correct it real time. Given that, they should be much better than they usually are.
I am a little pathological about this. That might be a result of having the job description be Navigator for much of my existence.
