#STREET ATLAS 'Tricks'
3 messages in this thread
Adam (& Scott …),
Please do not post messages about "hacking" Street Map. The manufacturer
has asked that we not allow these messages in this forum since Xmap is a
different product with a much higher price tag. My understanding is that
DeLorme will me re-manufacturing the hackable discs since they should not
have shipped that way in the first place.
Thanks!

Why do we have to "BUCKLE UNDER" to someone, just because they don't like
what we have to say? What about free speech, isn't this a public forum? We
can't help it if they ship "cripple-ware…
Steve,
I have already stated I won't repost that information publically, out of
consideration for the fact that Delorme provides user support here on the
forum. I had no idea they had objected to the people who originally posted
the information, and I was simply reposting other's notes in response to a
direct request to do so. In any case, you won't see it again from me, and
please accept my apologies if it has caused anyone any heartburn.
Now, OTH, I don't appreciate companies that 'cripple' a product, remarket
it under another name, then sell the "additional" features at a higher
price. Before someone gives me a lecture on marketing, I understand why
they do it and could easily debate either side of the question, and Delorme
is in good company (i.e., just look at Intel and the 486sx). I just don't
like it. But that is ok — nobody is forcing me to buy the program, and it
is probably still a good value at $99.
