Street Atlas USA 6.0 for Macintosh Released
DeLorme 's Street Atlas USA 6.0 is the leading U.S. mapping software for
Macintosh, giving you full access to the latest man-made and geographic detail for
the entire United States on two CD-ROMs.
According to the developer, you can find virtually any place in the US with Street
Atlas USA 6.0. Users can search by address to find business and residential
locations, or perform lightning-quick searches by placename, area code and
exchange, latitude/longitude or ZIP Code.
You can also zoom in and out easily using the zoom tools or by clicking and dragging
to create a view box on the map. The program quickly gets just the data you
requested and fills the screen at the appropriate detail scale. Choose from 15
different viewing levels of detail.
Street Atlas USA 6.0 provides true address-to-address routing. Plus, you get
powerful routing tools to determine the specific route you want to take. Use
Street Atlas USA 6.0 with your notebook and the DeLorme Earthmate GPS
Receiver to experience the latest in satellite navigation.
Street Atlas USA 6.0 for Macintosh features include:
Create Custom Maps
Use the program's draw tools to personalize your maps, adding symbols, lines, text
and MapNotes to the maps. Zoom in from a full view of the continental US to
street-level detail anywhere in the country.
Add your details to the maps with the easy-to-use draw tools. Include MapNotes to
show the location of your house. Draw polygons to show new roads or property
boundaries. Add symbols to mark locations of job sites or customers.
Plus, you can customize the details displayed on the map. Show or hide the ZIP
Code boundaries, placenames, major roads, back roads, map tints and other map
details.
Easily import your address book as a comma-delimited file, and see your contacts on
the map. If you have a stand-alone GPS receiver, you can add your own details to
specific latitude and longitude coordinates. Save the latitude/longitude waypoints
for any location or trip with your GPS receiver, download them to the software, and
view their locations on the maps.
Or, use Street Atlas USA 6.0 to identify key latitude/longitude locations, upload
them into your GPS receiver and find them with ease when you get into the field
with your GPS.
Add the Latest Address-to-Address Routing Controls
You can create address-to-address routes, ideal for showing friends, clients and
business colleagues how to find you. Street Atlas USA 6.0 puts you in control with
advanced routing tools. Set driving speeds and use the Via routing tool to select
exactly the roads you want.
Print Customized Maps and Travel Plans
When you have finished creating the customized map, you can print beautiful color
copies to show off your work.
You can also print Travel Plans, that include detailed maps and Route Directions for
any trip you create with Street Atlas USA 6.0.
Experience the Latest in Navigation with GPS Technology
Street Atlas USA 6.0 works with many GPS receivers, including the DeLorme
Earthmate GPS Receiver. Simply connect Earthmate to your notebook computer and
begin tracking in real-time.
