couple notes about Delorme Street Atlas:

-the info in the GPS/Navigation pane (bottom of the screen) is large enough that at standard carpc resolutions it should be fairly easy to read.

-tts directions are somewhat understandable. but dont bother using anything other than Microsoft's default tts voices. i tried AT&T's natural voices and it ended up messing up some parts such as reading "st." simply as that rather than "Street"

-did pretty good as to reading off directions early based on your speed and distance from the next direction

a side note which may help guage my opinions here: i tested this on my home pc with a gps simulator with my own custom gps log that was created using MS S&T2k5's lon&lat finder. the reolsution during this test was 1152x870
