Customer Reviews of Route 66 Route USA 2004 (Mac)
Save your money-this is a piece of junk First and foremost this program does not allow you to access Exit numbers. You can look on the map till your eyes hurt, but you'll never be able to tell the Driver, "in five miles take exit 26". No exit numbers, I contacted the company and they confirmed that they are working on this for future versions. That such a simple navigational tool is not available is enough to render this program useless in my opinion, but that doesn't even scratch the surface. <

>Major cities don't show up untill you have reduced the map to a point where you are right on top of the city. If you pulled a full screen on Maryland and you wanted to find Annapolis you better know where to look. If not, you will have to search for Annapolis, then ask the program to center Annapolis on the map before it will show you where it is. A whole state will show up on the screen without a single city visible, what good is that? <

>When you calculate directions, the directions that appear are pretty much useless. Today I travelled from Florence, SC to Raleigh, NC. I calculated the directions. 115 miles of the 150 mile trip were on the major interstate 95, but in the 30 odd manuvers that were detailed (the trip was pretty much a right turn onto 95, and a left left onto 40 west) the program never distinguished the road as 95! The blue line on the map ran along 95, but the directions never confirmed it. <

>The program is beyond bad. Buy a paper map until Delorme or Rand McNally grace us mac users with a product.
Do not buy this piece of junk
It's unfortunate that this is the only street mapping software currently available on the Mac. I should have kept my money.
<
>The entire program is awfully slow on my PowerBook. I can't believe how long it takes to zoom or scroll. No really, it's slower than what you're imagining right now.
<
>The user interface is very confusing and clunky. They need to read up on Mac user interface standards.
<
>The GPS interface seems to be a 2nd thought. You can't add waypoints with GPS coordinates. The program doesn't update your itinerary as you progress along. All it does it draw your position on the map. That's it. Never mind vocal turn-by-turn directions.
<
>Outdated maps! Holy cow. It's missing roads, and old roads are still there. It wouldn't be so bad if you could plan routes where the roads should be, but the program restricts you to the roads in it's database. It makes route planning on new roads impossible.

The product installed easily and works as well as was expected. It is a bit combersome to use however.
