Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Map N' Go and Street Atlas, both by Delorme, serve two different purposes. The user interfaces are similar and many of the functions are the same (fastest/shortest route, driving directions, trip planners, GPS track while driving on a laptop) but the audiences are different. If you want to plan a vacation, use MNG because it has more information on points of interest. It also loads faster (on my laptop). You will not be able to navigate to a particular street address - that's what SA does best - but who cares if you're driving to Orlando and just need to get to a particular hotel? The list of hotels in each is extensive (though not complete). The GPS functions are quite different between the two. SA will upload *named* waypoints to your GPS receiver. MNG will upload *numbered* ones so that you have no clue which one refers to what place. This to me is what clearly differentiates the two for road trips.So, if you want to plan a vacation and perhaps just track yourself on a moving map on your laptop with GPS, MNG is for you. If you instead need to find particular street addresses and like having descriptive waypoints on your GPS receiver as you drive, the SA is what you want.
