We, too, used the Delorme Street Atlas program on our computer. You don't need internet to plan your route and it can easily be planned the way YOU want to go, not the way a GPS wants to take you. You can transfer it to a GPS for heads up driving. For those not familiar with it, you missed out on an awesome product. We'll continue to use our older version. It's not made mistakes yet unlike our little GPS.
We traveled mostly in the western states and the Benchmark series of atlases are awesome. They give good road detail if you like to travel secondary roads, as we do. There's lot of public land information for scenic driving on gravel roads or boondocking in awesome places. They are simple to read with big print. They give many public campgrounds. If you travel a particular state a lot, it's worth the investment.
The state maps at Visitor Centers are o.k. if you do interstates or want a bigger picture but for detail, get a Benchmark atlas.
Nice knowing you, Delorme!
