Hi, Jon > I have to disagree. De Lorme's Street Atlas contains everything you find in > the typical road atlas, plus a level of detail in cities, towns, etc. that > you only get in local road maps. All on >one< CD-ROM. PMJI, that's great if you are using it in the city, but I like to bang around out in the boondocks on old logging roads. I can't speak for Lanny, but I think I know him well enough to say that this is where he's coming from. If he can't find an obscure quarry on some remote mountain top with it, then the CD-ROM is of limited use to him. A lot of the time he's on foot when he needs the map – therefore his preference for paper maps. (Lanny – I'm sure you'll correct me here if I'm wrong or left out anything…) Personally I find that the 7.5 minute USGS quads work best in the boondocks, but the DeLorme CD-ROM is next only to a CD reader on my priority list. <g> Best, Guy PS: If you are interested in a _major_ digression to the above, I can tell you where the term "boondocks" came from. The actual site is about 35 miles South of my house. <G>
