Delorme - A Good Map

Postby go24 » Thu Jan 13, 2005 9:27 pm

Any of you boys ever used a Delorme? They have a map for most states that gets down to the nitty gritty. Most every road, even the smallest dirt and gravel roads are on that thing.

I use Street Atlas, 3-D TopoQuads and X-Map. More for work than hunting though. They are very useful for both.

I've got a red book that has all that stuff on it. I bought one for Miss and one for La at Wallyworld. I can't remember who made it but I know from experience everyroad you can drive on is in the book but not everyroad in teh book you can drive on. :shock:

I'm an appraiser and I have the program. I use it to put the maps in my appraisals. I have tried alot of programs and it is the best I have found. Make sure you get the newest version. All of the roads within the last year are on it but not all have street names. Still overall you can't go wrong.

Use it everyday for work. Even better when hooked to Garmin GPS. Even when roads are misslabeled( and they are in the rural areas) they are almost always mapped correctly. Hard to get lost when you know exactely where you are. Also you can upload tracks/points of interest from GPS to Delorme and routes created on Delorme download into GPS. Very handy.

If you use topo 5.0 you can buy sat phots to overlay for any of the states. Those are the best.
