Software Reviews of Delorme Street Atlas USA 2007
Customer Review: The "one star" rating is at least two stars too high!
Summary: 1 Stars
Searching for my home address in Louisville KY resulted in SA2007 informing me that it could not recognize Louisville Kentucky, which is one of the 20 largest cities in the United States. SA2007 was unable to "recognize" Louisville Ky even though it had been given a valid address along with the city state and the correct ZIP code for the address!
I located Louisville manually, then attempted to search for another local address. Although the proper map area was displayed on screen, when attempting to search for the address "502 W KENTUCKY ST" it was necessary to provide SA2007 with the correct ZIP code before it was able to find the address (which was already in the middle of the screen). Without being given the ZIP code, SA2007 could not find the requested address, but it did offer choices consisting of every single road segment in the state of Kentucky - apparently when told to look for 502 W Kentucky Street, the search engine did a text search for everything associated with the word "Kentucky" and with the number "502" (which happens to be one of Kentucky's Area Codes)!
Then I started looking at the accuracy of the maps:
The full (four way) intersection shown at N38°5.933' W85°53.545 is really a T intersection and a dead end. The road shown as "(10350-10873) Lower River Rd" is really a dead end that does not connect to the other roads at this intersection.
I don't know what DeLorme's off-shore data entry people think they were entering at N38°5.578' W85°52.768, but there is no such feature on the ground. However Greenbelt Highway actually does connect straight through to Gene Snyder Fwy (SR841) in the vicinity of N38°5.482' W85°52.220' where instead you show both roads ending at Dixie Hwy without a straight through road.
Link Way at N38°3.898' W85°53.587' does not, and has never connected to Galston Blvd (although it may some time in the future). Link Way is and always has been a dead end.
The zigzag section of Lower River Road from N38°3.928 W85°54.470' to N38°3.967 W85°54.533' to N38°4.119 W85°54.464' to N38°4.098 W85°54.325' was straightened over a decade ago!
There is no such community as "Bethany" which you show at N38°5.901' W85°52.328' The group of three "local or rural" roads shown immediately east of "Bethany" are in fact the Bethany Cemetery.
SA2007 still shows SR1931 S 7th St (N38°14.089' W85°45.929') running north into downtown Louisville. 7th Street was rebuilt several years ago and just north of Magnolia Ave the road veers to the west taking the traffic north into downtown Louisville on 9th Street. (This was one of the major errors which prompted me to return SA2006 last year.)
If I know the maps of my own city are wrong how can I trust Street Atlas maps to help me get around in a place that I don't know??
