Weird Routing Problem with Street Atlas 2005?

I got this weird problem with Street Atlas 2005. The routing doesn't work. It just draws a straight line from my starting point to my end point. See the attachment. Does anyone have any idea?

are you sure that isn't the helicopter version?

Dude, I wish I had a chopper to play with.

Weird thing is it works fine on my desktop. Don't know if there's any hidden settings that might have been changed.

i think its a fluke. does it sometimes on mine, both in car and house. I also found that delorme tells you can make wrong turns on one way roads.

john, it does it all the time for me.

Anyway, I'll try a fresh install to see what happens. In the mean time, if anyone has any idea, let me know.

This is caused by your magnetic declination file going out of date. There's a patch for it on the Delorme site.

I know, I know, routing shouldn't break because you have an old mag dec file. But it does. I had the same problem and this fixed it.

bugbyte, I did install the magnetic update. not sure what went wrong though because it does work on my desktop, just not on my laptop. i'll try the update again and see what happens.
