I use the laminated version. It makes a good writing surface.

For actual routing, I use my GPS. :wink:

I bought 2 of the laminated during the yearly change over for $10 each. If you can catch them when they first come out with the new year you can usually save some money on them. It sure beats paying $30/each. They aren't going to change that much from one year to another. I usually keep mine 2-3 years.

How useful would this be (DeLorme S/W, GPS, Notebook/PDA)?

And for the money?

Avoid the 2007 version. I've heard many people complaining that 2007 is a really bad version.

Look on eBay - I'm sure you'll find a 2006 version, which is the best version, IMO.

Looks like you still need to find low bridges and restricted roads?

If you really need that info, even an atlas isn't going to completely help you. There are lots of restricted roads and low bridges that don't appear in the atlas.

Software is only as good as the person who is using it. There are ways to make software, such as Delorme and MS S&T, work for you.
