Description of AAA Map N' Go 6.0

Installation is simple, and the friendly interface makes trip planning almost as fun as the big vacation itself. Once the trip is settled, you can print the maps on paper, port them to Palm OS devices, or even shuttle them along on a GPS-enhanced laptop--but keep your eyes on the road! There's no comprehensive address database, so some out-of-the-way relatives might be hard to track down unless they give exceptionally clear directions, but for the most part campgrounds, restaurants, hotels, and most urban locations are pretty easy to find.

Tracking past trips is easy and fun with the slide-show feature, which lets users develop multimedia presentations, including digital pictures. Keeping kids busy in the car is also a breeze with the activities provided on the disc and available for printing--license-plate bingo should keep the driver sane long enough to reach the next destination. AAA Map 'n' Go 6.0 will keep road trips fun, safe, and well planned, even for travelers who want to leave the computer back home. --Rob Lightner

The dashboard welcome screen provides a comfortable place to begin exploring the many features of the program. Easy-to-follow interactive tutorials also help the new user discover the best ways to use the program. Preview and select lodgings and restaurants by type, price, and AAA Diamond Rating to match your budget and style. Select the fastest, shortest, most scenic, or customized route. Use the Via routing feature to easily select individual road segments that are exactly the way you want them. Set driving speeds, and select the types of roads you want to travel. The Tour Guide feature allows access to a multimedia display of points of interest, so you can get an advance look at the many places to visit on your trip. Additionally, the built-in DeLorme Slide Show feature accepts images from digital cameras, scanners, and digital photofinishing services, so you can save a slide show and e-mail it to family and friends. You can even add photos to your maps, a great way to remember where you've been. Families planning vacations will also love the Kids' Travel Activities--fun ideas you can print and bring along on your trip.

Once your trip is created, you can print detailed travel plans showing your route, in addition to the AAA-approved points of interest you've selected along your route. And, after you've hit the road, you can use the Earthmate GPS Receiver (available separately) to track your progress in real time on your Map'n'Go maps. Just connect Earthmate to a multimedia laptop computer and you'll always know where you are and where you need to go. It's a fun, high-tech way to stay on track as you travel. You can even hear spoken directions as you drive.
