Similr to 2004. I haven't compared it to another product like duleo or destinator. But I like it, I got the plus version because it has phone number and address listings, like 31 million or something. Its convenient, this way all you need to know is the name of a place, get the address, then use the nav. to get there. The plus version costs 80 bucks. It now has automatic re-routing. I use it with my Lilliput fine. I imagine you already looked at http://www.delorme.com/streetatlasusa/ ?

Sorry I'm of no more help, searched and found no reviews

if its anything like 2004, have fun using it on a 7" screen. I hope you got a big screen in your car.....

I had 2004 and liked it. I just got 2005 with my blue logger 2 weeks ago. 2005 is alot nicer. It has some features that 2004 was missing. Such as selecting audio output device and mic input device. Also the text is bigger and easier to read. I am using it on my laptop 14" screen right now. I won't have my Xenarc to try it on that for another week or so.

How about the bread crumbs, can you turn them on/off or adjust the size. I am thinking about upgrading from 2004.
It is really sad, 8 years ago I had MapExpert from them, you could turn on/off the crumbs, change size (3 selections) and host of other things, that product was really GPS orinted. I don't know why are they holding back from implementing that featur.

i read from other's reviews that 2004 is really hard to read unless you have a big screen, but in 2005 they stated they they increased the fonts and stuff to make it easier to read, that's why i'm asking if anyone here has tried it. thanks for all the input everyone.

voidunknown: could you please let me know how it works out on your xenarc

Will do.

I can't wait! I am waiting for Zip-Lock to get back to me so I can order my Xenarc!
