Over 3.4 Million Road Updates
With Delorme Street Atlas USA, you can plan your trips with ease and navigate worry-free, with up-to-date, feature-rich mapping software. Get updated street-level detail for U.S. and Canada, with more than 133,000 new roads and 3.4 million road updates, plus four million places of interest. The software also includes over 14 million Canadian residential and business phone listings. And just as with earlier versions, Street Atlas USA 2007 gives you the option of adding to the data base by including the local, routable roads that you discover on your travels. A new NetLink feature makes it easier to communicate data revisions to DeLorme mapmaking staff, who reply with confirmation emails when changes are made.

With four million updated places of interest in both the United States and Canada, including hotels, restaurants, gas, and more, you'll always know where the closest service center is. The software even includes service listings with phone numbers for major chains.

Map Controls and Search Capabilities
The maps can be controlled using a variety of methods, including the traditional push-button zooming, which drills in and out while keeping the map exactly centered. Also, holding down the left mouse button enables you to drag and zoom, left-to-right, across the map; moving the mouse in the same manner but in the opposite direction lets you zooms out.

DeLorme employs several powerful search capabilities within the software. The first is a simple box called QuickSearch in which you type common requests including towns, cities, ZIP codes, colleges, and so on to receive the quickest possible matches. Also featured with the 2007 version is new built-in intelligence that overrules common typing errors to help return good matches. For instance, double commas (,,), periods instead of commas, and spaces do not prevent a good match from being offered.

Map Drawing and Voice Options
With Delorme Street Atlas USA, you can add map notes; draw your own circles, polygons, and squares; measure the area of your draw objects; and even draw in your own roads and route on them. When you right-click on a map, you can drill into the area's details, such as latitude/longitude, names of streets and bodies of water, and even local radio station information.

The voice tab of the software is where you train the software to recognize your voice for issuing routing and GPS commands while tracking. You ask common questions such as "How far to my next turn?" and the software will answer. The software also reads upcoming turn information, including the time to turn, time to finish, and name of the street to turn onto. New voice settings allow you to select how far in advance of your turn you'd like to be prompted. The voice function can also be turned off if you prefer.

Add Local Roads to Street Atlas Routing
A DeLorme exclusive, this feature lets you update local roads when new developments are planned or added between DeLorme software releases. This tool is located within the "draw" tab and lets you draw in the road segment, connecting it to another local road within the database. Assign a name, save it, and when you create automatic routes, the software is smart enough to include these new local roads in the routing calculations and also update the directions.

You also have the ability to create and save commonly-used names for places you visit often, such as "home," work," or "Dad's." Once these names are assigned, the routing "Starts", "Stops", and "Finishes" also display these names making retrieval easy for repeated usage. Up to 200 names from your address book can be recognized using this system.

Printing and Sharing
You can print crisp color or black-and-white maps that you control to best match what is seen on screen. You can also print Travel Packages containing strip maps and directions to bring on your trip. You don't want to use a lot of ink and paper? Then print just the Turn Details which show thumbnail maps of each of the decision points along your route.
