As I’ve written before, there is considerable overlap between Street Atlas and Garmin’s BaseCamp and it would make no sense for one company to maintain both products. I did an earlier than planned update and purchased the 2015 version so I could have the latest possible. This first post with DeLorme in the title will also be the last. In early 2016 Garmin closed a deal to acquire DeLorme and all Street Atlas development was stopped.
2016 was to be my next planned update but plans changed. I more or less fell into biennial mode and upgraded just every other year. There were a few more numbered revisions and a misstep into a Road Warrior version before the numeric year was used in the product name and a string of annual releases began. The reason, I suppose, is the old story of taking something for granted until you lose it. I’ve talked about it in a few posts but was surprised to see that it has never been the primary focus of a post.
DeLorme Street Atlas is one of my oldest tools.
