![]() I do not work for Delorme, read my other reviews. In the end when your phone loses signal in the woods and your GPS stops working because it is not receiving the topo map data from Goggle/Microsoft, come back and support this company so they can continue to provide the service. ![]() For those who are complaining about little or no update from this software, please take a moment to understand the business side of this industry and why there were massive layoffs after Goggle and Microsoft had taken over this business. ![]() They provide a mapping software that is easier to see on large laptop screen and one that does not require phone signal or use up data. My support goes to Delorme for their courage to battle the giants in this hostile competitive environment. Most of my camping trips Delorme comes to the rescue, all of our phones' navigation usually stops, my kids and my wife's GPS all ceased without Verizon signal and only Delorme continued to run. As far as my research goes, only this software works with a laptop in Windows 10. If I have to drive to only one location without having the need to plan out my entire day, I would use my phone. ![]() For example I use Delorme, if I need a large screen to map out multiple locations or if I need to see a large zoomed out overview that the small phone screen can't display. I do use my phone for reference or as a primary GPS guide depending on the need. That is why Google and Microsoft maps are more accurate and updated. ![]() Other companies have discontinued their mapping software or have stopped updating them except for Delorme (who did very little update but at least got their software running with Windows 10) since the maps are easier to update online in real time with Goggle and Microsoft sites. I have tried Delorme 2008 on Win 10, everything worked except it was unable to locate a COM port for my GPS, so I purchased this new version. For example, Microsoft Streets and Trips and Delorme 2014 are older versions and they do not work with Windows 10, only Delorme version 2015 does. The ones available are old versions and most of them don't run on Windows 10. There are no mapping software available for laptops after about 30 minutes of searching online and I can save you that time. ![]()
